We introduce a method which uses the light emitted by a computer screen to illuminate an object such as a human face from multiple directions, simultaneously capturing images with a webcam in order to perform photometric stereo. Dominant eigenvectors of the captured images provide surface normals, which are integrated into a 3D surface using Gauss-Seidel relaxation. The system runs at 10 frames...

The Bass Sleeve uses an Arduino board with a combination of buttons, switches, flex sensors, force sensing resistors, and an accelerometer to map the ancillary movements of a performer to sampling, real-time audio and video processing including pitch shifting, delay, low pass filtering, and onscreen video movement. The device was created to augment the existing functions of the electric bass an...
