- ==========================
- Extended View Toolkit
- ==========================
- http://extendedview.mur.at
- Extended View Toolkit is an abstraction library for PureData towards
- panoramic imagery creation and projection mapping.
- Description
- -----------
- Extended View Toolkit is a set of abstractions for combining multiple
- video or image sources into a panoramic image and for projection
- setups with mutliple projectors or projection environments with
- challenging geometric forms, better known as video mapping.
- Multiple input media (e.g. camera input, video files, image files,
- 3D renderings) can be processed. It is possible to create
- imagery or video by either stitching multiple inputs to one continuous,
- or by unwrapping a 360-degree image taken with a special optical lens
- system. Such processed media input can then be projected onto even
- irregular shaped surfaces. It is possible to blend smoothly between
- multiple projectors, to create seamless immersive media environments.
- Extended View Toolkit was originally created at the "Institute for Electronic
- Music and Acoustics"/Graz within the CO-ME-DI-A project, lead by
- Winfried Ritsch for the art installation "Extended View" by Peter Venus.
- The CO-ME-DI-A project was supported by the Education, Audiovisual &
- Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Comission for
- the period 2007 - 2010 (http://www.comedia.eu.org/).
- Getting started
- ---------------
- For an abstracion overview, open "01_ev_module_list.pd".
- Go through the examples, to learn about the possibilities of the toolkit.
- There are also individual help-patches for most of the modules.
- The abstractions are divided into groups by folders:
- "ev-in" abstractions for media input,
- i.e. video files, image files or camera input.
- "ev-main" general abstractions of the toolkit.
- "ev-pano" panoramic image or video creation
- "ev-pro" abstractions for video projection mapping.
- "ev-glsl" abstractions to load OpenGL shaders
- (contains subfolder with some shader files).
- There are also folders for additional files:
- "data" contains the state-saving data of the example patches.
- "media" contains media files, like videos or images.
- "libs" contains external libraries that are used by the toolkit.
- Requirements
- ------------
- __Software:__
- * PureData or Pd-extended (http://puredata.info/downloads)
- * Gem 0.92.3 or higher
- (included in Pd-extended or to be downloaded from http://gem.iem.at)
- * For OSC support, additional libraries may be nessecary
- (e.g. mrpeach, iemnet; included in Pd-extended)
- __Operating System:__
- The abstractions have been tested on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu),
- Mac OSX 10.6/10.7 and Microsoft Windows 7.
- __Hardware:__
- Recent graphics hardware required to have access to full OpenGL
- capabilities of GEM
- __Following problems have to be considered:__
- Connecting more than one USB camera of the same type to a Windows
- or Mac Computer requires lots of tweaking, but works fine under Linux.
