The above videos demonstrate user painting in my Living Painting Application described in this post. The hand tracking is done using a Kinect and objects are seeded from the hand with a velocity in the direction the hand is facing. The spread of objects being emitted can be controlled as well. The Living Painting Application […]

These desktops were generated by my Living Painting application. Enjoy!

You are the painting. Above are some demos of my Living Painting application. The application can paint still images, video, and video from Kinect with background subtraction. Multiple layers can be created to achieve complex visual results. Blending painted users with painted stills and video in real time. Sound reactive brushes are also available, size […]

This is a little demo application made with the Kinect that runs about 4000 particles in real time using only the Cinder API drawing methods. I believe Cinder will prove to be about 2x faster than openframeworks across the board, […]
