Interactive installations & performances using computer vision (Kinect / webcams & Processing)
The workshop is addressed to artists or developers who wish to add interactivity to their projects using cameras or the Kinect sensor. Through computer vision techniques, parameters of the environment (such as human motion) can be detected and used to create interaction in real time.
Instructor: Caterina Antonopoulou
When: 12/05/2014-20/05/2014
Where: Frown Tails, Athens

Augmented objects with Arduino
During the workshop, found objects of the Arcade of Merchants will be transformed into interfaces of an interactive installation using the Arduino Board and multiple sensors.
The interactive objects created during the workshop will be used to activate in real time an audiovisual installation.
Instructor: Caterina Antonopoulou
When: 16/05/2014
Where: Arcade of Merchants, Voulis 8-10, Athens
