MAT 594CP Open Projects in Optical-Computational Processes


M594 CP is a student defined research projects course focused on optical, or
any other imaging/sensing device interfaced with a computer.

Media Arts &Technology, Elings Hall 2611, Wednesday 2-6pm

Instructor: George Legrady, Media Arts Technology, TA: Andres Burbano, MAT
Doctoral student

 

 

The emphasis this quarter is on projects that explore the new groundbreaking
autostereoscopic Fuji 3D 10mil pixel camera. Released in late 2009, the
camera can capture 3D stills, 3D movies viewable without special glasses, or
2D multi-synched images for HDR imaging. The camera has 2 CCD sensors, and 2
Fujinon precision lenses with 3x optical zoom. The "RP (Real Photo)
Processor 3D" synchronizes data passed to it by the two lenses and sensors
to instantaneously blend information into a single symmetrical image.

This Fuji camera introduces the new multi-picture standard MPO (see
attachment), and technical work during the quarter can focus on creating
software that can translate the MPO standard into other manageable formats
for the MAT Allosphere projection, Nvidia 3D vision GeForce card, and image
processing softwares (Photoshop, Gimp, After Effects, etc.)

Artistic and perceptual projects can explore the camera's 3D functions.
Students who have other projects, for instance, anamorphs, experiments in
multiple exposure, spatial & virtual exploration, distance/presence,
reflection and penetration (x-ray, infrared, etc.), medical (MRI, PET), and
astronomy, cameras that function as sensors, recording and vision devices
are all welcome. There will be weekly meetings to review work-in-progress in
a studio critique format. Workload involves a project proposal worked out
with the instructor, followed by completion of project, with an online
documentation.
