An image of four tacos, sorted in pixel blocks.
Sort By N Pixels
Image of tacos, sorted in chunks of N pixels (with wrapping).
Some Kinect Experiments
Three head-mounted Kinect experiments:
- Rendering only every 5px horizontally
- Doing some feedback trails and hand-tracking
- A 3d ball inserted into the Kinect’s 3d space (with the eventual hope of making it bounce in that space)
All three written in Processing.

Further Blobs > Drawing
Further version of the blob-tracking drawing software for my Digital Drawing class – goes into use tomorrow!
Image Tracking/Drawing
A few (not quite working) screenshots of a image tracking/drawing software I’m writing in Processing today for my Digital Drawing class.
Polygon Sheet
A little experiment over the weekend.
Polygon Sheet – Still
A still from some experiments in Processing for the design of an upcoming publication; inadvertently resulting in a video (currently crunching). Tons of polygons with copier-toner texture, overlapping to create weird mesh glitchiness.
A Mug’s Shadow
Some more tweaking and fancy math (3d intersection of a plane and line) and the shadow tracing sketch in Processing seems to be working perfectly. Shapes are drawn and capped, the file is then exported as DXF and loaded into Rhino to be scaled and exported for 3d printing. Next (and hopefully final) step is to set up a control interface so the model can be manipulated (scale, turn on/off floorplane, etc) and exported on command.
