Digital Wall Ready – Please test

I created a separate page for the cooliris digital wall. Please test. Right now it just has sample placeholder images:

http://www.wsadt.net/digital-wall/

once it loads, click on the “full screen icon” (the two arrows) in the lower-right corner.

Digital Wall

Cooliris Digital Wall

Mimio attached to iMac with Cooliris Digital Wall


I have been experimenting with two technologies to create a “digital wall” for the exhibit for the Digital tectonics studio:
1. The Mimio bar for using a touch-sensitive screen
2. The cooliris digital wall plugin

I have managed to get it all working. I also purchased a 5mm 126x113cm translucent perspex screen.
The idea is that we rear-project a full-screen cooliris wall of preloaded studio project images. The users can use the Stylus to swipe the wall and click on images to enlrage.

In the experiment above, I connected the Mimio bar to my iMac and launched the cooliris plugin in full-screen mode. I was able to use the stylus to swipe the digital wall left and right and click on images to enlrage. Was very responsive and intuitive.

Should look very good!

Feedback? Ideas? We’ll try it next week. I need images!

Urgent: Distributed Rendering – Please Comment

Dear Students,

I have asked ARCCA and the WSA to help install the distributed rendering engine on 3D Studio MAX for your use. I am hoping it will work. One piece of information I need is when do you need to have this in place.

I would like you to comment on it and add your name if you need to use it and if so.. what days. Calculate a time savings of 300% to 400% (so a quarter of the time needed on your laptop)

There is no maxwell… only the normal mental ray rendering engine that comes with 3DS Max Design.

I have put in a request to purchase Maxwell, but with Dom’s absence this will be too late for this term.

Regards,

Wassim

BuildAR Test

AR Test from Wassim Jabi on Vimeo.

This is a simple test of the BuildAR tool. In particular, the potential to load different 3D Models into the same scene and use physical proximity of markers to create new interactions. In this case, observing the revolving spheres enter and exit the cube.

The models were created in 3D Studio Max and exported to the OSG .evi format.
