1
00:00:12,983 --> 00:00:16,336
RGB+DToolkit is a workflow for making volumetric video

2
00:00:16,336 --> 00:00:19,631
with a Kinect and a Digital SLR.

3
00:00:20,363 --> 00:00:23,767
I perceive a continuum between abstraction and figuration.

4
00:00:23,767 --> 00:00:28,833
I see a place all along there with with a lot of really interesting places to go.

5
00:00:28,833 --> 00:00:31,850
I think that abstraction has the capacity to

6
00:00:31,850 --> 00:00:35,170
kind of communicate in ways of building on language

7
00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:41,276
in ways that talk to us in a really low perceptual level.

8
00:01:24,962 --> 00:01:30,134
So for us it's important that we're teaching you how to do this using all open source software.

9
00:01:30,134 --> 00:01:33,765
Using things you can do yourself.

10
00:01:44,735 --> 00:01:49,280
The design philosophy with this software is that these cameras are changing very quickly.

11
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,037
The technology is changing very quickly. We're sort of figuring it out as we go.

12
00:01:53,037 --> 00:01:54,985
So there's very little emphasis put on the permanence

13
00:01:54,985 --> 00:01:59,773
of the software, but rather the methodology that goes into it.

14
00:02:00,711 --> 00:02:07,049
The process involves taking images of a checkerboard in order to calibrate the two cameras together.

15
00:02:08,436 --> 00:02:12,160
Recording data from the Kinect and the SLR simultaneously.

16
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,426
[Speaking French]

17
00:02:18,817 --> 00:02:23,734
Then visualizing it in 3D space with our application.

18
00:02:24,369 --> 00:02:27,956
By creating open source tools that combine consumer electronics,

19
00:02:27,956 --> 00:02:31,732
we can discover new asthetics.

20
00:02:34,103 --> 00:02:38,892
We've just seen the beginning of what's possible.
