Art & Code 3D

Friday

Start of conference! We just got the "Live 3D Stream for Art and Code 3D, thanks to Golan Levin, arturoc, mr.doob, roxlu, binx, joelgethinlewis, all the Art+Code 3D Labbers, openFrameworks Community, Microsoft Research and Microsoft Kinect Team"  working now! Last week this amazing group of artists and hackers got live streaming of point cloud data working in the browser!  We're using gstreamer to together with openFrameworks to stream data through your browser with the help of the great guys over at www.giss.tv.  I've been working on a live stream addon which will stream directly to the web without the need of  gstreamer so you can start hacking yourself!

 

Websockets 

One of the first thoughts to get this live streaming of 3D point cloud data working was using websockets; a way to connect to an application over a network.  So an openFrameworks would stream the point clouds through a websocket into your browser.  Because websockets cannot do binary sockets this was to slow as all RGB data has to be converted using base64. 

 

Monday

Just started the dev week at the studio of creative inquiry! Hacking around with everyone.. and wow it's so amazing crazy nice here! One big laugh !  There are some really interesting concepts flying around here.  Everyone started coding and working on demos.
