Study week this week so a quiet time. After a while wrestling with third party libraries Anthea hacks together a basic theremin using the Kinect. This is a great start integrating it with Processing as we now can add in all sorts of combinations.

Welcome back!

Hi everyone,

We will be launching the NUIM Makers Club for the new academic year on the 14th October 2011. The venue is room 2.07 in the Engineering Building. This year's theme will be music and we will devote energy and effort into the development of new forms of musical creation, synthesis and performance. I am hoping that we can put on a live musical performance using our creations towards the end of the academic year. It should be a lot of fun. Come to Room 2.07 on the 14th October to learn more and enjoy a slice of pizza or two.

Cheap and affordable eye tracker

Julien and Jean Alain put together this fun eye tracker based on the eye writer project. It uses a wireless Sony ps3 camera some nir LEDs and some free software. It works really well. Well done guys.

Arcade machine launch

It's end of term and the last exam was today so we had our get together with students and staff. It was the perfect opportunity to launch the arcade. As you can see it went down very well. This is the end of regular makers club until next term. I think we ended on a high and a really fun make.
