Particles ^ 6
Published April 15th, 2007 in ITP, java, mpe, p5, programming, vlogFlight404’s recent exquisite work with additive blending and particles led me to return to an old project of mine. Of course, these days, revisiting a project translates to “add more LCD screens.”
We’ve successfully added support for passing larger amount of data across clients in the multi-screen framework and this has led to some nice experiments, including having one client capture video for the entire system. The demo below involves 3 client computers, 6 LCD screens, and 2 video cameras. Did I mention this is all works with Processing???

Now, I have to admit. I have a problem. When I had one screen, I wished for two. When two came, I wished for 3. Then 6. Now, I wish for 12. (Well, I would really quite prefer in the vincinity of 96 screens, but I have to be realistic.)
Thanks to Michael DelGaudio for appearing in the video.
