<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:14.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Artistic
and perceptual projects can explore the camera’s 3D functions. Students who
have other projects, for instance, <span style='font-family:"ArialMT","serif"'>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. </span><span class=apple-style-span><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
