Leap Motion hand data

notes

When using the sphere vector, if you make a fist – the sphere Y value goes straight up (as radius decreases) also, x value decreases slightly and z value increases significantly

So its probably better to use palm position as a vector – if you want to detect sphere radius

ep-3xx41 Max – week 5

Video and Graphics

Jitter and Vizzie
  • 3 part Youtube vizzie tutorial:
  • http://youtu.be/z4TfdPHrbgg
  • Max Help: jitter tutorials

Max patches

  • vizzie class example
  • vizzie desktop capture (2)
  • nano controller
  • green screen 1
  • syphon
  • cornerpin test
  • connecting jitter to vizzie
  • recording audio with jit.vcr
  • abstractions of vizzie modules (vz.brcosr)
Topics…
  • abstraction
  • bpatcher
  • print, message object right inlet
  • Max window
  • Presentation mode
  • OSC
  • Serial
  • attrui
  • clippings
  • prototypes

Useful things to know

  • Pasting patches from the c74 Forum into a patcher
  • Using externals (set Max path options)
  • Where are the examples? (inside the application)
  • Max For Live – Use it as a “shell” to give your patches Midi, audio production, recording, automation, etc.,
  • vignettes

Assignment

Connect one of the projects you have already written to a patch that generates video, using Vizzie or jitter.

For example:

  • connect a control panel to a video effects processor
  • use the built-in camera to modulate audio (instant soundtrack)
  • use audio to modulate video (instant visualization)
 Extra credit: prototype an etch-a-sketch (hint: use lcd object help file)

ep-4xx13 DSP – week 5

Reverse Engineering, Prototyping, Portfolios

notes

  • Connor’s web site:
  • Eren’s video:

Examples

  • Double Degrader (Eren’s idea)
  • Leap Motion prototypes

Assignment

Sound-byte

  • The sound-byte is a short audio clip of speech
  • Everything in the piece is derived from the sound-byte
  • The sound-byte in its original form should occur somewhere in the piece
  • Duration: roughly 2-3 minutes?
  • Submit a ‘draft’ version for next week – then we will revise over next 2 weeks.
