Making a Magic Lantern, Horror Vacui Data Projector

چکیده
This paper describes the creative process behind an artwork that combines and projects data in sculptural ways. This projection comes in the form of a reimagined magic lantern device called the Magic Lantern Horror Vacui Data Projector. This device is the result of collaborative glass art and electronic art techniques. Central to the projection system are re-envisaged glass magic lantern slides. No longer flat, they are squat six-sided boxes made entirely of glass. These slide boxes are filled with data-representa-tional glass forms through which light is projected. The projected images are emitted from a three dimensional aggregate of data represented by coloured pieces of transparent glass. The appearance of the projection is manipulated by positioning these slides along varying axes through servomotors. Code is being developed to read input from the projection, generate additional data, and control the positioning of the boxes.

A Magic Lantern Data Projector
The Magic Lantern Data Projector allows a performer-participant to build sculptural glass forms that are projected, then algorithmically processed. The device re-envisions magic lantern slides as transparent, multifaceted three-dimensional glass boxes. The projected image is a palimpsest of coloured transparent glass forms (Figure 1). Servomotors position the boxes in front of a camera lens, wh...
متن کاملPico Lantern: A Pick-up Projector for Augmented Reality in Laparoscopic Surgery
The Pico Lantern is proposed as a new tool for guidance in laparoscopic surgery. Its miniaturized design allows it to be picked up by a laparoscopic tool during surgery and tracked directly by the endoscope. By using laser projection, different patterns and annotations can be projected onto the tissue surface. The first explored application is surface reconstruction. The absolute error for surf...
