3D Motion Capturing part 2: Drawing In Space
// May 9th, 2009 // Experiments, Flash 3D, Webcam
In my previous post I did a first test with 3D motion capturing, it worked, but it wasn’t precise enough to make a 3D drawing app (my initial plan). I did some more experiments with normal web-cams, but they all failed. There was to much “color pollution” to track a small point. So I decided to try it with infrared light.
That did the trick:
I had to build a simple infrared ‘pen’ (picture below) and convert 2 web-cams to infrared web-cams.
How: Open the web-cams. Replace the infrared filters with a filter that blocks all the visible light but won’t block infrared light. Film-negative does that for you.

Jouw blog staat vanaf nu in m’n favo’s! Zou jij niet de man zijn om bij Sony een soort van EyeToy 2 te ontwikkelen voor de PS3
Respect voor je werk!

Zeer cool en knap gemaakt!
Fantastic Job!!!…
