Learning Flash and Actionscript

by on Oct.31, 2008, under Uncategorized

So I started learning flash and Actionscript 3 (AS3) this week. I first started with the basic multitouch app posted on the nuigroup wiki page, and eventually was able to get it to create red circles on the screen whenever I touched:

The circles dont go away after you touch them so that’s why you see a lot of them.
I then started to make my first basic cursor app. Following some tutorials online I made the below app (click the white box and move your mouse around it):


It is written in Flash 6 and AS2, which is far lower than any of the multitouch apps require, and am in the process of porting it over to the newer code…so stay tuned for word on that working.

PS3 Webcam Dissection

by on Oct.27, 2008, under Uncategorized

Went out to get a PS3 eye camera today because the 20 or so frames per second that I was getting with my previous camera just isnt that good.

Took the pieces apart per the instructions on this post.
Though it was much tougher to get the main housing apart than he described it.


Took the lenses off, and cut the IR filter out of the plastic.

Put it all back together

I was able to easily get it to run on the computer (which it wasnt originally meant to do) using the software found on this page.
I was able to get around 128fps in 320×240 resoultion which is awesome. Now I just need the drivers to be updated to work with tbeta and Ill be golden…stay tuned.
