Re: [PD] video processing removing feedback

2008-08-20 Thread marius schebella
Hi,
I can only second what damien already said. you have to use an infrared 
light source. there are cheap infrared LED arrays that you can use. the 
camera setting that reads only the infrared light is called nightshot 
and you will get best results if you find a camera that has a switch 
like that. then you will get a b/w image, and since the projector does 
not cast infrared light, the projection image is invisible to the 
nightshot camera.

 I would like some advice, i wish to track objects using a video camera

 generated video) = video used for blob tracking ?
 (if there is some way to offload it to the gpu that would be good too)
 
 use infrared lighting and cameras. (this also gives you the advantage that 
 you can flood the projection area with invisible infrared light, which is 
 great for tracking, while keeping the 'real' visible lighting to a minimum).
 
 most security cameras based on CCDs already detect infrared. if you put a 
 piece of exposed and developed camera print film (just ordinary film) 
 between the lens and the CCD, this blocks visible but allows infrared light 
 through. to make a super cheap infrared light from a theatre light or any 
 incandescent light, put 2-3 layers of Congo Blue theatre lighting gel and 
 one layer of Primary Red gel in front of the light. be careful, it gets 
 very hot.

[PD] hid - not recognising device

2008-08-20 Thread Ctrl Alt Back
Hello,

i am trying to make EU3C Gamepad MegaPlayer USB working,
failing to open it with [hid] - error: [hid] open /dev/input/event5
failed.
[linuxevent] shows some values in type, code and value outputs, which
change when i send [start.

dmesg tells me :

in lsusb it appears as :

calibrator works ok and shows that it is /dev/input/js0.

what else should i check ?

Are the permissions on your device file okay so that you can access it?

If you are in a hurry: I found that for gamepads the [joystick] external
by J. Sarlo works flawlessly on Linux. hid introduced an annoying
nameclash to [joystick] with the abstraction joystick.pd, so make sure
you remove that from your path if you want to use J. Sarlo's work
instead.

Re: [PD] pd MTL tarball/zip?

hi,

yeah the server is down. but goto10 is not (cheers to goto10). as we add 
stuff from time to time (welcome to anyone who wants to contribute to 
pdmtl abstractions) it's a good idea to use the svn like this.

svn co https://devel.goto10.org/svn/pdmtl/trunk/pdmtl pdmtl

and then, when you feel for it do:
svn up (in pdmtl)


for me opening 1.browser.pd when loading pd is a bless (saving time):
pd -open /home/you/pd/pdmtl/1.browser.pd

also be sure to open at least the first time 0.info.pd - you will see if 
you are missing externals.

thanks for that. that's the first time i've used svn. and it
downloaded everything for me in a few seconds. i use xp for pure data
and xubuntu for the net so it was quite a breeze getting the stuff.

i'll look forward getting stuck into pdmtl. i've been using vanilla
with iemlib thus far but this may make me switch to a more external
based pd system.

thanks again.

 in theory there are only 65536 different possibilites for amplitudes of
 one sample, so if you register 65536 pieces of music, each 1 sample
 long, then you you should be able to claim copyright from everyone who's
 music is based on amplitudes. maybe you can also register one sample of
 0, then you could even make money from people who don't make music.
 just imagine: you can claim copyright for every sample of every piece of
 music.

[PD] [ot] managing distributed development

2008-08-20 Thread Thomas Grill
Hi all,
while i'm in Boston i just had dinner with a well known researcher in
fields of user/distributed innovation and communities.
One of the topics of conversation was whether it would be possible to
design management systems for distributed development (like sourceforge)
in a way that _all_ management tasks are taken away from the
responsibility of individual persons but rather handled in a
quasi-automatic (community-governed by polls etc.) manner.
From my experience with open source development i was very sceptic but
haven't yet really come up with a _principal_ reason why this would be
impossible. My arguments have been more on the side of actual feasibility
because of the development costs of such a management tool to deal with
every conceivable subtlety and dependency in the process of development
and packaging.
From a theoretical viewpoint it would though be interesting if there are
more principal reasons why this could be impossible.
Is the fact that the development of the tool can never come to an end such
a principal reason?
Any other thoughts?

thanks and all the best, gr~~~

2008-08-20 Thread Thomas Grill
Hi Andy,
many thanks for your input!

 You could also look at it another way. Why do it? Collaborative software
development
 is a human activity. What are the problems with humans you're trying to
'solve'?

Actually it's not me who is trying to solve these problems. I tend to
think it's impossible right from the start. But obviously management tasks
are not the most popular ones and some community members might not always
be happy with the work of some manager - that's why it could in principal
make sense to automate/democratize such tasks.

Re: [PD] [ot] managing distributed development

2008-08-20 Thread marius schebella
I think methods of development (and evolution) have not changed during 
the last 4 billion years. how we view them and think about them has 
changed. the question for me is, why is it so much more important today 
to point out that development is never done by one single individuum but 
is a process that includes a lot of people adding and evaluating 
thousands of tiny and comprehensive steps?
to be honest, I think that we (the first world colonialists) have a 
growing fear that we will not survive on this planet without the help 
of the rest of the world. uptight as we are, we are now trying to 
allow everyone to take part in development, whereas in reality we are 
trying to make everyone responsible for the problems of the world.
but then, in practice it *is* the individual effort and progress that 
sums up development. and it's individuums who take responsibility.
regarding Pd, managing resources could make things more 
efficient/faster/target oriented. and competition could also speed 
things up. but it could also lead to totally useless and prestigious 
attempts like me wanting to walk on the moon!

While this seems to be common sense and only logical for us developers and
users of open source software, it is not so much for economists and
old-style companies producing traditional goods or services. I had to
learn this (to my own surprise) when i got to know more people in this
field. The researchers in fields of open and distributed innovation are
very interested in the mechanisms of OS development and the incentives of
the developers to transfer them to traditional markets.
It makes little sense when i try to write about that, but more to read the
original literature, e.g. the best-selling democratizing innovation (
http://web.mit.edu/evhippel/www/democ1.htm ).
It might be interesting to know that the LEGO company of Denmark survived
because of overcoming old marketing schemes and actively supporting
user/open innovation strategies (with the LEGO mindstorm community).
