I’ve uploaded the latest installment of the animated pill-sized hyper-narrative Please Say Something.
The entire series has now migrated to Vimeo, which serves full HD versions of every episode. Enjoy!
There is also now an official Youtube channel which I’ll use for random clips that don’t fit the Vimeo page.
After recieving a bunch more Octocat fan art I created this dedicated page : http://www.davidoreilly.com/octocat-art
Founder of Digg talks about iHologram :
Full Octocat feature on g4 :
Ive just finished coding an application for the iphone/ipod touch. It gives the illusion of a 3d hologram jumping off the screen.
Here’s a video of it in use, featuring the Cat from my award-winning but unfinished cartoon PSS:
The application works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The 3d scene’s perspective is warped using anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors. This application does the exact same but updates dynamically.
The software uses the ipod’s built-in gyroscope to calculate rotation on the y-axis, so we can look around the environment around by turning the device, there are also controls for manual rotation with a slider on the left hand side of the screen.
My programming knowledge is limited, if any iphone developers want to collaborate on this stuff please get in touch!
