Interactive Projection at Blechley Park

Whilst visiting Blechley Park, i came across an interesting part of it that featured a room of interactive games. I decided to play around with it to see how it worked.

Presentation

The evening before the presentation, i had spent some time working on setting up the projection. I measured the distance from the projector to the car and the height at which the projector was at. It was from this angle that i retook the image of the car and redid the image to be projected. This was to try and get the best result possible. On the day, i found out how to warp and adjust an image using the homography node. This meant i was able to adjust the perspective and position the image on the car more accurately. There was still some slight overhang but i think i could fix it with more time. This was the best angle to view it at and using the GUI Toni had refined and built in flash, were able to show a good concept that got people interested.

We werent taught how to use it for projection mapping but im sure i would be able to find tutorials in order to do it. The next, i was told about by my friend. This software is HeavyM. It is free software that is very popular to use and is also fairly simple. Again, this is something i would have to look for tutorials for. Another is a recent release but does require purchase. Notch has a simalar interface to VVVV in which it uses nodes to create the visuals. Because of the purchase price, i will be unable to use it for the project but i will still look into how it is used. The final one is Touch Designer. Again, this is a node based program that allows you to create visual...
