Did some googling and came across this video by Guus Baggermans. He is using FingerPlay as input for a robot on his desktop. I’m not exactly sure of the details but I think the robot is Arduino based and he must have modified the FingerPlay source code because he’s using the gyroscope for input.
If you’ve made anything cool with FingerPlay MIDI then please let me know – I love hearing about people using it.
I spent last night playing around with audio programming for Android and I now have the basics of a FingerPlay scratch app. There’s no interface yet and it’s not “real” scratching, but I’ll see what I can do about that when I’m back from my holiday. And I need a better loop to play with as well..
Can’t get embed video to work right now.. I’ll update later.
I should have done a video showing off my Android application FingerPlay MIDI myself, but I simply haven’t had the time for it yet. Luckily Mooreshire did it instead, which leaves me with more time to fix bugs. So a big thanks to him for posting this quick demo!
I’m waiting for my girlfriend’s brother’s wonderful LED device to arrive but in the meantime I’ve prepared myself for it by creating some tiny 16×24 Flash effects which I hope can be reproduced with LEDs. I coded the classic demo rotozoom and fire effects with 2 colours and some cheap dithering added on top.
Added a new fire with proper Floyd-Steinberg dithering. Now I just need to fix the OpenGL code for FingerPlay.
Oh, and I need to update the blog with Mandy’s new design. Too much to do but not enough minerals..
