March 2, 2009*****Note: My project has since changes regarding how I am going to show the work, and although this post is not relevent to my current work, I wanted to show it as it represents previous research/learning)*****
I have recently emailed Dr Oliver Schreer at the Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, in Germany as I found from researching on the net that they have recently produced/engineered software which can be used with a pc and webcam which would work ideally for the part of my project where I wanted a kind of mirror effect when the user-viewer looks into his pc screen (on the website I hope to create). The fact that it only requires a webcam is very exciting, as this was somthing I was wanting – ie to make it extremely accessible, I also hope to recreate this in a physical digital installment, but myabe on a grander scale – so it may require two different software applications.
This web page and video clip is a sample of what Dr Schreer et al have accomplished so far: http://www.hhi.fraunhofer.de/en/departments/image-processing/immersive-media-3d-video/animation-of-avatars/
