aaaaaggghhhhh....
....really struggling with this interaction project. Keep going around in circles not making any progress. Was interested to make some optical piece inspired by the stereoscopic images at the Kentbridge exhibiton. I sent away for some stereoscopic glasses from the US as i couldn't find a UK supplier. They arrived, but are pretty crap, quite blurrey and difficult to see anything. Hoped to rig up a system with 2 video cameras, and project the images onto screens side by side, and use the stereoglasses to see the results in 3d. Tried to test with a couple of webcams, and again had little success as the PC would recognise a second webcam. (plus the webcam images are pretty ropey , despite the fact it wasn't a cheap one).
So it's back to square one. At a loss as to what to do for this project, and more research just makes it more confusing.

That's a shame that you put so much planning into your piece and it didn't work out. Perhaps you should assess your research so far and just bullet point two or three key points you want your final piece to illustrate, and work from there. If your interested in optical illusuions, perhaps you could create something that illustrates why they are interactive, using simpler resources?
Well done for pushing ahead, obtaining those glasses for example, even if the results were not what you expected. This is the nature of research. Only through engaging and working on various ideas will you stumble across the best one. It is getting close to the deadline however so you do need to find a way of resolving matters. Perhaps idea-generation is blocking you in some way. I would pick something and take it to its limits, work hard with that, rather than trying to be too wide and creative at this stage. And certainly when you talk about your progress through this project explain what research you did, including dead-ends as well as whatever you learned from the process.
Hi Peter
Can you do what you want with 3d red blue
or Stereogram?
Or, why not ditch the projector and build a piece around those stereoscope viewers from the 50s? I think you can still get them today. Not sure how you'd work in interactivity but its an idea...
