The engine looks really nice. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a “switch to english” button on the website.

Erik Natzke did a great project for Adobe. The website adobeartists features several artists working with cs4. Erik’s flash work is here. I love the use of light and shadow.

I found via an even greater augmented business card implementation by jonas, a german student.

Great implementation and excellent idea.

Face / Mimik tracking in AS3

Once again Tomek alias Og2t wrote a great flash demo. This time its about machine vision and just awesome. It’s motion based head / eyetracking with a lot of cool “hacks” like blob detection – histogram analysis – motion detection and more. Furthermore Tomek wants to provide a full framework.

This is a part of the whole video filter framework I am developing just now, the inspiration came from Joa Ebert’s Image Processing library (as far as I know, he’s cooking a complete rewrite). The full source code (including Pixel Bender kernels and examples) will be soon released on Google Code and will feature face/eye tracking/gestures and few other things (surprise!) A lot of people are very sceptic about the whole eye tracking idea, they don’t believe it’s precise enough to make any use of it – I will prove that it is, and it works! (just watch closely how it tracks my eyeballs on the video!)

I tried it, but I still prefer the camshift algorithm for face detection. Anyway: GREAT WORK!

Augmented Reality in 2D

Once again I experimented with webcam, augmented reality and flash. Inspired by camspace.com this time I wanted to see if its posible to map a video on a rect which is moved and resized by colored objects.

Tomorrow I will post a screencast and a demo. so you can see it in action. I can’t post the sources right now but I’m on it.
