Watch virtual stuff overgrow my living room!
This prototype uses a camera, projector and laptop to have virtual 'stuff' spread out, tracing the real world. It's real time, allowing it to be aimed anywhere without prior knowledge of the location. The (simple) setup procedure needs to be run just once.
The growth starts from one or more places on the detected objects. From there it can only spread over edges, meaning that certain areas may remain 'uninfected'. This is where real-time interaction comes in: people can use their body to carry some light to a new place, from where it will slowly continue spreading. Also, the light can be wiped out, but unless this is done completely it will always start to grow right back again.
Clearly, there are no super fancy graphics here yet. Fortunately, I made the thing run completely on the GPU, and there is still plenty of power left :)
Hope you enjoyed , check out my other videos!
