SOME RANDOM DUDE

Yesterday, I added functionality to my video color sampler experiment to have the ability to pull YouTube videos. This was the last piece of functionality I wanted to add to this system before I really start doing some visual/motion exploration. The feature was extremely simple to add (two or three minutes of work) - but it makes this project extremely more interesting from a public interaction perspective. I already have some ideas for public installation projects I will start to consider working on since the time and materials would theoretically be very minimal.

The current implementation of this visualization is once again a proof in concept as the actual visualized forms/colors are not particularly strong. Still, the idea of interactive visualizations over a webcam with minor technological implementations is extremely exciting. The form created is highly abstract, but I can assure you that it is visualizing your webcam video feed.

To interact with this tool, click the 'Allow' button in the middle of the screen below and select your webcam device if necessary.
