I had a go at taking out the IR filter from the PS3 eye toy, and it didn't work. I ended up just completely destroying my eye toy. This is a massive blow to my visual project status, and I cannot afford a camera with the price tag of £1000 which will mean that I cant go ahead with succesfully projecting a visual aid onto the tabletop! This obviously is a great pity as I have been making progress with animation.
I must admit that I will be unable to accomplish such a light show in the time that I have, and leave this part of the ReacTable for now.
However this does not mean, that I will not get visual feedback working at some point. As my dead line looms closer, I concentrate on making music with it. I will keep you all posted on any progress I make with the visual feedback.
I now need to buy another camera and start making some sound.
I would also like to add, for thoes who it may concern that I made some progress with making my glass translucent.
I orded a sample from windowfilm.com and this is a picture of it....
I will continue with the visual feedback research after the hand in date for my final year project.
I will get this working at some point, so watch this space.
hourrah for translucent film!
