Working on a project to visualize graffiti removal in Chicago. Just finished up getting the data in from the city. 

Not the final product by any means, but it’s nice to see the data getting parsed properly.

Conversation Pool is a project I’m working on that listens to web traffic on a network and pulls out images as people browse. The images the analyzed using OpenCV and similar shapes, faces, and colors are picked out of each image. The Conversation Pool software assembles a collage in real time.  The software is nowhere near finished, but it’s analyzing properly, and it doesn’t...

MapBag: A Proprioceptive Augmentation Device
Just wanted to show everyone a new project that I’m working on.  I see the MapBag as a solution to two problems: 1) Re-experiencing the city I find myself often getting locked into a point A to point B commute mode here in Chicago. The city is full of amazing things to experience, but I inevitably settle into the most efficient and comfortable path to and from work / school. My solution...

My NetEnvironment project. Using Processing and the FBI’s Carnivore source code to generate a real time 3D environment that reflects current traffic on a network. The code sniffs for all TCP/UDP connections and plots machines (cubes) and then draws connections between two machines (curves).  In this version higher port numbers (I had BitTorrent running) are higher in space, and lower port...

I’m working on a small appliance to display CTA train and bus arrival times via an analog voltage meter. (Yes, I bring breadboards to the coffeeshop.)

A point cloud from my Kinect using Daniel Shiffman’s Processing library! I struggled all day with this damn thing: weird Java errors, USB problems, and finally learning to tell my Mac Pro to wait patiently.

Prototype for testing code for my fabric display project. In the video this little guy isn’t tracking clouds and manipulating fabric like the real machine will be. Instead, it’s using the camera in my Mac to look for faces (see the red box around my face?) and trying to match the location of the faces my moving side to side and up and down.
