market of attention

The market of attention is based on two sides, the desire of being viewed and the audiences with voyeurism. For those who are being viewed, they seek the public attention for various reasons. One is the media reality. We are living in this world seems real and dramatic at the same time. A great way of seeking the reality, the way to reach the truth, and to behave honestly, is to be viewed by the public. They are more pleasured by showing through the reality TV to feel the self-existence. For those people who make the shows, they clearly know how to draw audiences’ attention, the way of making it feel like real thing, make it close to the reality. They want to monitor the other’s privacy. For the audiences, they are not watch super stars acting in front them any more, they are viewing normal people same as them. People want to know the difference between other. In the public, everyone is sort of staged and not showing the real self. but in the private space, they might express the real self. So the TV program of showing people's privacy became very popular.

I did a project budget sheet

Also find the 3D webcam:

Currently, this webcam does not support Mac OS. I sent the company an E-mail about this, but didn't get the reply.

Also, from what I have researched, what 3D cemeras do is simply captures two seperated channel of videos, and then send the videos to the computer; let the computer to process video sources(combines these two videos, then makes it blue&red).So I have to do a little program myself in order to make raw data to 3D video.


sample raw video source

This week, I went to the next stage from 3D images to 3D videos.

I am still working on the art concept so this 3D video program could get involved.
Since I am taking Vis 147 electronic arts class, I want to see if I can bring any hardware to my project, for example, arduino and sensors.

September 30~October 07 2010

I started to try to make some 3D images from original 2D images, and here is the one, which is not reall working

There images are captured by teh 3D camera

Today, we had the first meeting for ICAM 160 class. We briefly planned out the weekly schedual, and set some goals for the end of fall quarter.

September 23~30 2010

During the week, we were asked to do a project proposal and did research towards our project.

In my plan, I want to make something with a 3D interface, so that the users could simple put on the 3D glasses and feel the different layers from the monitor. 

Since most  of the opearting systems and programs are written in 2D environment, it is hard to create the 3D environment for my projects. So the easiest way to have my idea applied is using multi-cameras to capture the real world environment.

Before going any further into 3D interface desin, I should first start to learn how 3D images work.

Here is link that really explains 3D technology:

Today, we had second meeting in class, everyone presented their idae of the project and we discussed a little about it. I was really inspried by a group of doing GPS based games. The resson why I think this is interesting is because the GPS could bring game into the physical world. Players don't need to sit in front of computers to join the game. They can actually move their bodys and experience the reality and vitural world at the same time.

For my project, I found a partner which has a similar idea with me. She wants to create an education software based on camera control.

So we both have our projects have something to do with camera, why dont we joint out thoughts together.
