Its DIY'able, but rarely pretty. There've been a long series of products promised, but none seem to materialize; its still that P5 looking brute thats the go-to glove. Of course, in the near future it'll be done without gloves, with just video capture/ video recognition.<br /><br />As for tesseractors, I'm partial to the idea of being able to splice our desktop experiences. There's a 2003 email someone wrote to the gnome-desktop-devel list that explores the concept, and what it means. The paper is mostly framing, it doesnt get far in to how it would be used, but its a novel read:<br /><a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-January/msg00185.html" rel="nofollow">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-January/msg00185.html</a>rektidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03381475657715288786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088201908806142355.post-44411279953682563772009-10-16T17:39:43.505+02:002009-10-16T17:39:43.505+02:00awesome postawesome postmikehedgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944415070085910102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088201908806142355.post-7228654451428379612009-10-03T13:52:57.404+02:002009-10-03T13:52:57.404+02:00I agree that the intimacy of coming together to sh...I agree that the intimacy of coming together to share the experience of a film with like-minded people can actually be more significant than whether the fidelity of the screening is high. I think to get more people involved with openindie.com you would have some success by doing little "case studies" of specific screenings that are held. I imagine a clip which documents a "good time had by all" feeling and includes some intelligent fragments of discussion combined with some stats on how much money/reputation/attention that screening generated for the filmmaker... Ultimately I guess the individual filmmakers need to be convinced that openindie.com is a good means for communicating to their audience, and that its not going to generate spam.Gabriel Shalomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217615877740583938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088201908806142355.post-57338815868995506272009-10-01T23:53:22.721+02:002009-10-01T23:53:22.721+02:00Thanks for posting Gabriel, part of what inspired ...Thanks for posting Gabriel, part of what inspired me to persue openindie.com was you showing me the underground film scene in Berlin that really demonstrates that any space can work for a screening and it's more about community and people and coming together then about high fidelity and plush seats. Of course, both is cool too. A warehouse full of couches in-front of a super bad ass surround system, I don't doubt that exists though, just get to get all of those people involved in openindie.com.

Thanks rektide for your support ...Silvia here. :-)<br /><br />Thanks rektide for your support of our work in open source and open standards. We have worked towards visions such as expressed in this blog for now more than 15 years - making such technology reality is more challenging than you might think.<br /><br />Not just do we need to open codecs and open standards to build the basis for interoperability - but we also have to get the vendors on board to extend their products (software and hardware) with the necessary technology support.<br /><br />And we had to wait until the hardware was capable enough to e.g. have face recognition software work in realtime on videos. I vividly remember our first implementations of face recognition at Mannheim University in 1995 taking several days to process a video of an hour's length. And I remember working within MPEG around the turn of the century in trying to motivate camera manufacturers to place face recognition software into their cameras - it took years, but now is quite common in still picture cameras and hopefully will be in video cameras soon, too.<br /><br />It is good to see support for open source and truely open standards based video technology emerge from the artistic sectors now that the technology is getting ready for prime time. I attended the recent Open Video Conference in New York and was simply blown away by the sheer mass of artists, NGOs, and other enthusiasts attending.<br /><br />Keep that support coming! It has taken us long enough to get here!silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465529878967808716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088201908806142355.post-13482070363354175042009-09-23T23:52:56.779+02:002009-09-23T23:52:56.779+02:00Hey Simon -- thanks for reading/watching -- lookin...Hey Simon -- thanks for reading/watching -- looking forward to hearing your thoughts; I'll message you thru Vimeo about meeting up.<br /><br />-GabrielGabriel Shalomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217615877740583938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088201908806142355.post-88992816717928451832009-09-23T18:13:21.322+02:002009-09-23T18:13:21.322+02:00Hey Gabriel,

It is encouraging to see intelligent people are working on video metadata standards. I am pretty sure that artists and filmmakers are probably being left wholesale out of the discussion of video metadata by those who will end up making the decisions so its great to have you as a reader here -- it helps promote a balance and a connection between the worlds of aesthetics and code.<br /><br />I have been curious about the mpg7 standard for a long time. I believe one of this blog's subscribers actually does quite a bit of work with mpg7 in creating the software <a href="http://www.frameline.tv/" rel="nofollow">Frameline</a><br /><br />Based on the comments and feedback this post generates I plan to do a follow up video blog in the next weeks with a revised Rubric.
