The new Musicvideo for Radioheads “House of Cards” brings some really Interesting new aspects to Video. Abstract 3D-Music Videos. Very interesting….if this could be merged into a real-time App….the applications could really be stunning….
Also the methods they used to “distort” the data..was interesting…lesson learned: dont do everything digitally….go back and do stuff in the real world…

Today I saw an interesting article about Face Detection in the German Magazin c’t (http://www.heise.de/ct/08/13/006/). Its one of the topics which is going to play a very important role in Intelligent-Display as well. At the moment there are many applications in C++ and JAVA doing Face-Detection. In the Web-Area (AS3 and Processing) it still seems a bit quiet…most likely because the power of the Languages just doesnt suffice…
In any case some interesting links regarding this topic:

http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/f/finepix_f50fd/features/index.html (seems that FujiFilm hast integrated a very capable FaceDetection technology in its newer cam models)
Some examples and experiments will follow at some stage…
