	Reminder: tonight 7p. AmbientStudio@SFComplex discusses "Projection Mapping" by Stephen Guerin :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Tonight, Wed Nov 11 at 7p @ SFComplex AmbientStudio@SFComplex hosts an informal Blender on "Projection Mapping" We will get folks together interested in projection mapping, the technique of using one or more projectors to illuminate multiple surfaces in a room or on the facade of a building. Example videos of projection mapping are at: http://delicious.com/redfishgroup/projectionmapping We will discuss building up a shared toolkit for artistic authoring in this medium. Example toolsets will include projector/camera calibration, projector stitching, color correction for nonuniform surfaces, 3D projection scanning, object tracking for interaction, and authoring software. We will also develop a plan to install projectors and cameras in the main Commons area of the SFComplex as a shared resource for projection mapping experiments. Examples will be presented by Cody Smith, Stephen Guerin, and possibly Robert Drummond and Dr Woohoo. Simon Mehalek will discuss hardware installation options. This is one of the first public talks of AmbientStudio@SFComplex, an informal interest group exploring ambient computing/spatially augmented reality. If you have any interest in this area of research, please join us. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@... http://lists.sfcomplex.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss http://www.nabble.com/sfComplex-Discuss-f33403.html
	Bootstrapping Complexity by Richard Lowenberg :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Here's a reference of possible interest to some. http://eskar.dk/andreas/outofcontrol/ From Kevin Kelly: The other day I got a note from a Danish guy who is a fan of my book OUT OF CONTROL. He found my ideas great but my presentation "frustrating." But unlike my other "frustrated" readers, Andreas Lloyd decided to do something about it: he remixed my book! I think the result is quite amazing. Remixing is perhaps too strong a word because he mostly simply dropped entire chapters, with a little re-arranging here and there. It is a very sharp but intelligent edit. But the effect is striking. Instead of a rambling book about one dozen things, Lloyd's remix of my book focuses it on the cybernetic and feedback aspects of the systems I was reporting on in the early 1990s. I suggested this focus needed a better title than OUT OF CONTROL, which I never was happy with anyhow, so Lloyd came up with a new one for this version of the book. He calls it BOOTSTRAPPING COMPLEXITY. ------------------------------------------------------------ Richard Lowenberg P. O.

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Over the last 2 decades a thing I have occasionally thought about is how the billions of us that live on this planet gives rise to certain interesting things. The thought comes to me when I walk down the street and I see human DNA in the form of a human that looks similar or very similar to someone I have met before. Akin to a child looking like it's parent. My extrapolation has been that with so many of us on the planet, say 14 billion, and the human DNA molecule approximately a trillion pieces of information, that we have entered the realm of possibilty that we could walk down the street and actually see our own doppleganger twin sauntering towards us or alongside of ourselves. Further, any given single thought, from the making of a ham sandwich, to the spacing out in zero gravity in intersetellar space listening to AC/DC inside of a glass globe and peering out to the stars, are in the realm of possibilty. And in fact a likelihood of actually occuring now presides because such overwhelming numbers are now extant.
