Undergraduate Projects
OpenCV + Kinect
Currently I’m learning some computer vision techniques by using the OpenCV library and a Kinect sensor.
MyView Video Diver for iPhone
During my research term at UBC I rewrote the code for the MyView VideoDiver.
Motion Capturing
We explored how a character with a non-human skeleton can be animated using a motion capture system.
Game Physics
Peggle3D is a roundbased multiplayer game that we implemented to learn about game physic concepts.
Chroma Keying
We produced a small music video clip based on the visuals from the iPod advertisement.
Interface Lab: Heartbeat
Heartbeat visualizes everybodies dancing in a club on a large screen display based on a heartbeat sensors.
3D Animation + Postproduction
For the german radio station Rockland we developed a concept for a cinema spot and finally produced a first version for a class in 3D animation.
