Wearable Interface - Last Day!


Unfortunately, It's my last day to work on this now.. And the time has obviously finally come but luckily for me, I've actually made huge progress on this thing. I've finished the patch and I've combined it using chromakey, key object, jitter grab, and a whole lot of toggles and bangs and the sort. And this is all shown in the image above. It's pretty simple but I did manage to understand it completely. I've left comment boxes across the whole thing too just in case to make the whole process that much more easier and I decided to keep it neat with straight lines connecting each function to each function. I've tested it out and the hat and the glove work together fine and are completely synchronized with the web-cam and the video. So I managed to cross fade me into the pokemon video bit by bit with a light cross fade into a flickering effect and lastly into a full transition from live feed into the pokemon video completely. Admittedly I really do feel accomplished to actually understand something pretty much completely. I've finished the patch, got the wearable interface garment, went out to buy a new journal, made a reflective statement, have video documentation and finishing up the blog now. But the one thing I admittedly didn't really do is any real research as this was all done through the Max/Msp tutorial and my own knowledge pretty much. That's the unfortunate part but I did manage to learn a lot despite the fact that I had to learn from many many trial and errors. But I guess that's it for me from this holiday and back to university.
