RGB+DToolkit is a workflow for making volumetric video

0:00:16.336,0:00:19.631
with a Kinect and a Digital SLR.

0:00:20.363,0:00:23.767
I perceive a continuum between abstraction and figuration.

0:00:23.767,0:00:28.833
I see a place all along there with with a lot of really interesting places to go.

0:00:28.833,0:00:31.850
I think that abstraction has the capacity to

0:00:31.850,0:00:35.170
kind of communicate in ways of building on language

0:00:35.170,0:00:41.276
in ways that talk to us in a really low perceptual level.

0:01:24.962,0:01:30.134
So for us it's important that we're teaching you how to do this using all open source software.

0:01:30.134,0:01:33.765
Using things you can do yourself.

0:01:44.735,0:01:49.280
The design philosophy with this software is that these cameras are changing very quickly.

0:01:49.280,0:01:53.037
The technology is changing very quickly. We're sort of figuring it out as we go.

0:01:53.037,0:01:54.985
So there's very little emphasis put on the permanence

0:01:54.985,0:01:59.773
of the software, but rather the methodology that goes into it.

0:02:00.711,0:02:07.049
The process involves taking images of a checkerboard in order to calibrate the two cameras together.

0:02:08.436,0:02:12.160
Recording data from the Kinect and the SLR simultaneously.

Then visualizing it in 3D space with our application.

0:02:24.369,0:02:27.956
By creating open source tools that combine consumer electronics,

0:02:27.956,0:02:31.732
we can discover new asthetics.

0:02:34.103,0:02:38.892
We've just seen the beginning of what's possible.
