Today i graduated at Communication & Multimedia Design in Breda, The Netherlands.
After 4.5 year of full time dedication im released to enter the market.

In my final presentation i showed the projects i worked on during the last year. In between the different projects i generated backgrounds with processing based upon the graphics/photos of the project. This script created a number of columns based upon every tenth pixel of a random horizontal row. Delevering some nice results. And the most important part is that people who knew the works recognized these in the backgrounds.

Today i received my Arduino Diecimila board, this USB board gives me the possibility to control external devices from within Processing. The other way around is also possible, using external buttons to control processing/MAX or Flash.

Funk factor 10. The sky is the limit.

I even see some possibilities regarding my multitouch screen.

Today i did a little research in the field of using multiple webcams simultaneously.
I discovered that there are a lot of driver issues when you try to connect multiple webcams to a single computer. Logitech seems to have a solid driver systems and thus allowing to use multiple webcams simeltaneous. Because i dont own that many logitech cams i experimented with 3 different webcams.

Through processing i was able to identify the three webcams as different streams. The beautiful thing about processing : it is an easy programming language. Within a matter of minutes i created a little application which combined these three streams into a larger image and outputting it in a sequence of tiff images. I see a lot of possibilities for an upcoming project.

To be continued.
