Big Ass LED Displays: Creating some patterns?

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

Would anyone be interested in playing around with the Big-Ass LED Display Project?

We have a nearly-complete "API" that lets anyone stream videos to the panels, we just need some cool patterns to play on them for Makerfaire at the end of April.     The second panel will be ready soon (once the board is built) but for now patterns that work on just one display will be sufficient.

These could be anything from purely artistic/conceptual patterns, to more interesting things, like a game of Tetris or an audio visualiser.  They can either be video files or applications that generate graphics on the fly.  Yes, it'll play Crysis.  I'm looking into the possibility of a thermal camera pattern as well.   Pretty much anything that appears on a laptop screen can be streamed to the panels in glorious 4K*.   

If anyone's interested in doing this, perhaps it's a good idea to meet up at a convenient time, say a Tuesday evening or on the weekend.  Post here with your availability if you're interested.

Thanks,

It'd be nice to have some sort of camera -> filter chain -> live video on the screens sorta thing going on.

The one in my head is making silhouettes of people ala ancient apple adverts :)

Does anyone know how to program live video?

We can sort out the streaming from your laptop or another laptop with the software on it.  If you can get that working on a laptop screen for us then getting it on the panel is easy.

Maybe we could use gstreamer for that?  It would be something to ask Hex about as he seems to understand gstreamer quite well.

I'm up for getting involved with this.

I have a fairly loose schedule over the next month, so I can be available most week evenings or weekends.

I reckon this would be quite easy to do with a kinect sensor.

Will be cool to see what you come up with Ian,  if you're in on Tuesday then we can have a chat.

I have got a thermal image on my PC using some Windows software that someone has written for the Seek Thermal.  It's not the best works well enough for what we're trying to do.

[Ian Kernick]

Awesome, I can come down this evening.

Do you know what time you'll be there from?

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

around 7.30-8pm Ian
