Media Art Lab Mercosul 2015

Exhibits

Projection activated by people

Software

• motion
  • Triggered by motion? number of people?
  • Camera may capture other exhibits which may be moving -> create a filter mask
• Something capable of projecting an image (preferably controllable through the command-line)
  • Maybe VLC with dbus?

Hardware

• Sensor
• Camera
• Computer (may be remote if camera has wireless)

Notes:

• If we use video, some preprocessing has to be made for the transition to be smooth

Robot with Camera

Software

• App / Web page
• voting system
• "Bird's eye view" - rendered

Hardware

• Code on the ground
• comunication capabilities (WiFi / bluetooth)
• battery (how long will the robot run?)
• Raspberry B Plus
• Raspberry 2

3D Printer (easy...)

Maya/Monitor monument

Software

• Synchronized
• Software split
• Software cascading Hardware
• Power (1 Monitor ~ 75W -> 16 Monitors ~ 1.2KW)
• May need cooling
• Computer or DVD (check for VGA output)
• cables (1 VGA and 1 Power per monitor)
• TV converter
• Hardware splitting

Notes

• VGA supports resolutions up to 2048×1536
• Most video cards have only 2 outputs (and it is possible to achieve a resolution of 4096x2160)
• There is a 16 monitor display at INF, and they use 4 computers and 8 video cards

Anemita

Hardware

• Presence sensor
• arduino/movement sensor

Other:

• can we borrow computers from UFRGS?
• can we borrow old CRT monitors?
