Title: Becoming Art Description: My exhibit will use 3D LiDAR vision technology to capture photos of the museum goers. I will then juxtapose the photos of the viewers with photos of well-known artworks/landscapes in an effort to coerce viewers to become active participants of the art, and not just ...

My final project will focus on 3D LiDAR vision technology. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses remote sensing technology to illuminate a desired subject with pulsing light from a laser. Data that is collected from this remote sensing is then used to create a composite image. Though LiDAR techno...

Name: EXPOSURE, 3d LIDAR DATA Place: UCSB EXPOSURE is an installation that uses large scale surveillance/x-ray imagery used to survey things like large semi trucks for smuggling. This large scale surviellance system can even x-ray through larger items such as buildings. http://www.sester.net/exposure/

The "4EyesFace" computational photography research conducted by UCSB's very own Mathew Turk along with Changbo Hu and Rogerio Feris aims to detect, trace, and align faces in real time. They take videos of different people's faces, track the face, and then align the face to a models. They have innova...

I would be!

I went to the MAT Open House in Elings and saw the exhibit "Allosphere and Friends - Visualizing the Future." Though my group was a little bit rushed because it was later in the evening, the hosts were able to show us most of their demonstrations. This included the 3-Dimensional inside of a brain, a...

http://p1m.mbike.com/001/001/122/Ad_Camel_6_d.jpg The first image that I chose for this assignment is a Camel cigarette advertisement. The first linguistic message that is evident in this image is the phrase "Camel. Where a man belongs." This phrase implies the ideas that smoking is a masculine act...

"Marey didn't just measure. He developed a system of thought about how to reconcile the disparity between what we think we see and what could be verified, especially as it applies to events beyond unaided perception (the wings of insects, the blood in our veins). This system evolved to include grap...

http://www.uh.edu/engines/pinholeprinciple.jpg Before coming into this class, I already had some background knowledge of the camera obscura from my Visual Cultures class in the History of Art and Architecture Department. After pursuing information on it through the internet, I gained a more in-dept...

The films that I will be focusing on are Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell 2. Blade Runner is a science fiction film that came out in the early 80s. The film takes place in Los Angeles in 2019, and the plot revolves around human-like robots called “replicants” that were made by the Tyrell Corporat...
