livePic
Shown at Siggraph 2006 livePic is a research project from Keio University Inakage Lab , Japan.
livePic allows a user to create a drawing using a brush and pallet to draw with, on a “paper” like screen – then the user can animate the drawing by blowing on the screen.
On the tip of the brush is an infrared LED which lights up as the tip touches the screen. A web-cam captures the infrared images which are processed to obtain the position of the brush. Drawings are generated from this data and displayed through a projector onto the screen. An infrared thermography device is used to detect the breath of a user if he blows on the screen and this is stored as a temperature image. These images are processed to calculate the position and direction of blowing. Drawings at the position of the breaths are then animated.
