Virtual Ribbons
1 year ago
This artwork allows the user to experience an augmented reality in which the flow of ribbons and particles can be controlled. It works by capturing a colour from an object (in this case, a green glove and the light from my mobile phone) and then using this object to drag the ribbons around the screen.

We are working on something similar for an installation.
congrats james, really nice
@Alex. I'd be interested to see that. I'll keep an eye open
this is basically some motion tracking right? Using the glove or cellphone as trackpoint
What software did you use? ParticleIllusion3 + After Effects?
@ZhiC - I'm tracking colour here rather than motion.
@Dylan - This is actually all done in realtime using a webcam. I've used Processing to create it. Its a programming language built for artists and designers to get started with programming. You can make some incredible visuals using it. Have a look at processing.org if you're interested
it looks terrific. would wait for you to use it in real project
