3D Printed Film Video Camera
Переглядів 65 тис.Рік тому
Check out my blog post for details: joshuabird.com/blog/post/3d-printed-film-video-camera At $800 per 10 minutes of footage, this is probably the most inefficient movie recording medium! The camera uses 35mm film in photography canisters, and the image captured is about the same size as super 16 film (ie. ~3x the size of super 8). Each 36 exposure roll of film only captures about 15 seconds of ...

    been almost half a year but something I suggest for keeping position when the mocap view is blocked is letting the drone remember where it is and know where its moved that way it can revert its movement back to where it should be (edit: without the help of realtime positioning or communication with the swarm)

    *Took a while but ever since drones were created I predicted this!* Kudos young man!!! He has created 'Flocking Algorithms' for drones. I envisioned a system of drones carrying filming cameras you can program with custom flight patterns & paths to capture shots unlike any before. Cameras that,like birds,can be flown & act individually or as one hive mind. Yet unlike birds, can be Autonomous or Controlled or programmed. In this way you can not only achieve,but Automate & evolve in ways previously unfathomable,the Legendary '360° Matrix Effect'! For the Wachoski's to accomplish this took a tremendous amount of time & meticulous designing to ensure that each cam was staggered & height varied enough not to capture each other in the shots. Now imagine this process being instinctualized in drones Algorithmically!!! If not already at that level,what this young man has created is essentially the foundation of that vision I had sooo many.yrs ago,& it.makes this 40yr old smile!!! Whether you realize it or not,what you've just created has the capability to not only revolutionize the Art of Film,but also completely Automate it! Enhancements needed our voice recognition softwares to allow *Voice commands & facial recognition for 'Facial & Emotional Cues'!* That's right! *Cameras that react,Autonomously or predetermined,by emotional response!* With technology like this,what was previously thought of as impossible can now be reality. *The one man Filming operation* is now possible!

    College project: Team A: Make a swarm of little drones that can drop a bit of paint and goo on victims below. Let software mostly control the flight, with command and control giving simple orders like go here, and drop paint there, etc. Team B. Make a swarm of little drones that can defend against a swarm of paint drones. Your little defender drones can take out paint drones using any methods available. Team A will try to attack the pilots of Team B, and Team B will try to defend. Go.

    I am almost giddy with excitement over the potential destruction these little drones can cause. Like the Star Trek movie, or the fly from the Get Smart movie. You could put poison on them, or have them spray toxic substances on targets. They could make their way into missile silos and weapons platforms. They may be able to trick animals and insects into swarming onto targets. . . Oh the imagination soars!

    interesting how hard would it be to motion capture from the drone itself.. motion capture in VR has gone through the same problems, and having cameras on the device made it more universal and easier to use

    I understand that this might be a bit out of budget, but would a system with uwb transceivers be more robust? Also, could the system be adapted to work with more cameras for redundancy/accuracy reasons?
