Creating Augumented Reality Playing Cards

I used some of the images which came with the free download of Unifeye Design Demo - the augumented reality viewer/creator to create some game cards in the style of the original pokemon cards.

This is a concept which I think will catch on.

If you show this card to your webcam (providing you have the Unifeye Design Demo installed) it will play.

3d animations!

Here I created some stop animation animations with my brother. He is hugely inspired by the Wallace and Gromet cartoons and constantly designs charicters for animations. I used my 3d webcam (featured in the pictures below) to photograph his works before uploading them to the pc and editing them in a free software called 'the anaglyph maker' this overlaps the images and puts a red and cyan outline on them. This can be seen in the final image (which you will need anaglyph glasses to preview) I used the double camera vision rather than the 3d image maker on the webcam so that I didnt have to focus the camera everytime.

Copy Right & Remix Culture

Copy Right and Remix Culture

Over the last 9/10 weeks I have been looking at remix culture,
which is what you get if you mix any clips together to create a new one
for instance the econ advert which is made completely form recycled film clips
as are many documentaries on natural disasters which use clips from the public domain (the general public) to show real life encounters from events.

However its not always this simple!
In fact there is so much controversy, debate and dispute surrounding it it can be extremely confusing.

There are parties for and against the usage of remix culture which is what I have been investigating before creating my own remix culture advert/film clip.

I will be posting research from the argument For and Against here on my blog however I will not be posting any of my research or own troubles in this investigation to protect myself from breaching these copyright laws and entering this dispute.

By keeping this information in a word document which will remain unposted I am complying with an act of fair use and cannot be sued!
