Lineplay demo

This Processing applet called Lineplay implements a little bit better the ideas discussed in the previous post on real-time animation of freehand strokes.

Live animation of freehand strokes

One of the goals of Andiamo is to implement a system where real-time rotosketching and animation can be performed  live using video material as the source. Two technical elements are required in order to accomplish this goal. One, a mathematical representation of free hand strokes that allows to attach the strokes to moving features while preserving their overall shape. Second, an algorithm to extract and track relevant motions in a video feed.

Easier azimuth and altitude access in proTablet

ProTablet is a Processing library, based on JPen, that I wrote a while a to simplify the access to the graphics tablet. Earlier versions of proTablet allowed to grab the pen’s X azimuth and altitude values with the getAzimuthXAndAltitude() method.
