There Be Pixels!
“Here Be Pixels” by Mario Klingemann is an interesting presentation from MAX 2008.
In it, Mario talks about using bitmaps and bitmapdata with cameras to do everything from a barcode reader to augmented reality. He doesn’t cover the code, but does cover the theory and shows some implimentations, and references research that this was all built from.
I feel like I’ve just sat through an intensive lecture at university all over again – I did a motion capture project with much of the same technology back at university, so I found it very interesting to see just how far the same technologies could be taken.
Have a watch, if you have 56 minutes!
PatchPanel – using Flex Builder to extend Creative Suite.
This is some interesting news from John Nack’s blog – about using a new SDK available from Adobe Labs called PatchPanel to cross-script the Adobe Suite products (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash etc.). PatchPanel is a library and set of services for enabling swfs to control Creative Suite products – so you can now develop and debug extensions with Flex Builder.
Kudos to Mark for sending me the link!
Buy my book!
