Highschool art class (a while back) – assignment: “Copy an interesting piece of artwork of your choice.” I’m not really sure what I was thinking when I chose this Andreas Vesalius piece from De humani corporis fabrica libri septem, but I think it turned out pretty cool. The paper is hand-made Native American paper. Click here for larger view.
I have been working on a little project that ‘pushes’ Arduino data from a USB connected PC to a server running Red5. Red5 treats each Arduino pin as a shared object. So when a pin (the Arduino has 6 analog pins and 14 digital pins) updates, every visitor viewing a subscribing webpage gets live data. I wanted to see how fast I could publish sensor data using Red5. I’m also interested in the performance with regards to bandwidth usages (to/from the server), speed of updates, CPU usage on the client to display the rapidly updating data in the browser, etc…
Pencil sketch scanned on 5-28-2009
I scanned in my latest sketch. This one has been a fun one to work on. There is still a lot of detail to add in the middle. I’ll scan it again as it progresses.
Sketch 1
Here’s a scan of page 1 of my most recent sketchbook. If you’re interested in seeing more scans, you can follow this link. I’m working on developing a new 3D Flash photo gallery that I’ll use to display all of these in the future. Stay tuned.
I’ve been playing around with this concept of sharing mouse movements and clicks with all users who are view the same webpage. So far, I have a rough prototype functioning (on this website and on www.porterdigital.com). Assuming you have a recent Flash player installed and your firewall allows RTMP socket connections, this should work for you. Try clicking around on this page (not on a link yet) and you should see your click. If anyone else is viewing this page right now, they’ll see it too. Try opening up a second browser window with this same URL and view them side-by-side. You should see your clicks and mouse moving around the page. Continue reading
