Course Description
Introduces live video processing, analysis, and programming. Uses Jitter and other tools to generate and process live interactive video experiences.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
- Perform live video manipulation, processing, and triggering.
- Map multiple 3-dimensional video sources using a single projector.
- Utilize knowledge of advanced aspects of live video processing techniques to transform color spaces, perform real-time video transformations, and to key, superimpose, and blend multiple video sources.
- Utilize virtual reality (VR) technology to implement world design and video mapping in 3-dimensional space.
- Manipulate live video utilizing sensors and Arduinos for gestural control.
- Analyze live video for use as a control source for sound, music, or other video/animation.
Course Activities and Design
Material for the course will be presented in a lecture format along side hands-on lecture/lab work.
