Eye Candy: Jean-Christophe Naour’s Brilliant "Kinect Graffiti"
Posted in: Uncategorized
Jean-Christophe Naour, a French Interaction Designer currently based in Seoul, South Korea, recently uploaded video documentation of his Kinect Graffiti™ project. The result is visually striking if nothing else:
Kinect Graffiti™ is a digital graffiti tool using “Microsoft Kinect” camera. [The] Idea behind this project is to use the kinect to track the motion behind graffiti. Visualizing the body and drawing trough different angles in realtime, understanding surrounding space, pausing the time, etc… Kinect Graffiti™ is a tool built in processing & openGL, SimpleOpenNI, openNI and primeSense libraries.
The stills (via jcnaour’s Flickr) look a lot like light painting / graffiti trend that’s picked up with the rise of digital photography, though I’m still not quite sure how to interpret the output—i.e. whether the colors carry data or if they are purely aesthetic.
