From game accessory to ubiquitous visualist tool, Microsoft’s surprise hit. Photo (CC-BY-ND) “My name is on my driving license”.
EyesWeb is a rich toolset for computer vision, interactive software for Windows that lets you apply any number of vision techniques to intelligently analyze a video image. Since it sends OSC data, it can interact with other visual (or other media) software. That deep set of tools has made it a favorite in research and live visual experimentation, and a free license adds to its popularity. Now, it adds, among other features, Kinect compatibility. New in the 5.2.1 build out this week:
- OpenNI-based support for Microsoft’s Kinect 3D camera
- A new edge detector, called CannyEdgeDetector
- Lots of updated blocks and feature tweaks
- Smarter display of lists
- Loads of fixes
- Improved audio support
Read about those features in full detail on the EyesWeb forum:
EyesWeb 5.2.1 available for download
There are also new demo patches to show off the new blocks.
