Interaction Design Arts with Computer Vision

Starting with tracking colours, you’ll move onto the basic techniques to isolate background, creating zones and use various softwares such as faceOSC and openTSPS to track face features or people's movements in a space.

On the second day, we'll look at the cv.jit package by Jean-Marc Pelletier to locate faces, see movement and track blobs using a combination of infrared lights and an infrared camera. Finally, we'll look at the Kinect and how to use it with Max.
