Hi list, we here in Osnabrück, just want to announce that we managed to improve Matterhorn so that we are now able to do 3D lecture recordings in selected classrooms. Our physics department demanded that they would need 3D fro their experiments so that the students get the full classroom experience. Some of these experiments would be very hard to follow without the depth information.
In our setup we added a Blackmagic Intensity Pro with the some third party gstreamer bindings to the capture agent. We had to take a quite fast quad-core machine to encode the HDMI signal from the Panasonic HDC-SDT750 camera.The recordings look just fine when we look at the raw material on the capture agent. Currently we still have some small problems in the processing: 1. we spilt the 3D-video-stream in two separate image sequences 2. we mix the images together with imagemagick. We ink the separate channels for anaglyph images (for red-green glasses). 3. we re-create the videostream from the new images. The processing unfortunately takes "forever" and we really need to speed this up. We are open for suggestions if you have further ideas which tools could improve the process. On the engage side there was nothing to do. The students just need the red-green glasses to view the videos. But we are currently considering to add a 3D-skin for the player, so that the buttons seem to "fly" above the rest of the interface. After some more testing we will add the 3D processing module to the contrib section.
