RGB+DToolkit is a workflow for making volumetric video

00:00:16.336 --> 00:00:19.631
with a Kinect and a Digital SLR.

00:00:20.363 --> 00:00:23.767
I perceive a continuum between abstraction and figuration.

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.

00:00:28.833 --> 00:00:31.850
I think that abstraction has the capacity to

00:00:31.850 --> 00:00:35.170
kind of communicate in ways of building on language

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

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.

00:01:30.134 --> 00:01:33.765
Using things you can do yourself.

00:01:44.735 --> 00:01:49.280
The design philosophy with this software is that these cameras are changing very quickly.

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.037
The technology is changing very quickly. We're sort of figuring it out as we go.

00:01:53.037 --> 00:01:54.985
So there's very little emphasis put on the permanence

00:01:54.985 --> 00:01:59.773
of the software, but rather the methodology that goes into it.

00:02:00.711 --> 00:02:07.049
The process involves taking images of a checkerboard in order to calibrate the two cameras together.

00:02:08.436 --> 00:02:12.160
Recording data from the Kinect and the SLR simultaneously.

00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:18.426

00:02:18.817 --> 00:02:23.734
Then visualizing it in 3D space with our application.

00:02:24.369 --> 00:02:27.956
By creating open source tools that combine consumer electronics,

00:02:27.956 --> 00:02:31.732
we can discover new asthetics.

00:02:34.103 --> 00:02:38.892
We've just seen the beginning of what's possible.
