Particles ^ 6

IMG_4873.JPG

Flight404’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.

    I would love to see one of these interactive art projects turned into an interactive desktop for those of us with large mulit-screen setups with iSights!
