The Grand Prize went to Shunsuke Nakamura of Shikumi Design in Japan. This application creates music and graphics by detecting user’s motion. Users don’t play the musical instruments, they just move their body parts, and play music and produce graphics. It generates new ways of performing music with visual effects. You can also change your voice to a musical instrument, arrange the tempo of music, and where to put the sounds on the screen.

The base system (like I/O of devices, image processing, sound processing) are written in C++, and the contents (like graphics, sounds, motion, effects, and interactions) are written in Lua. This App uses default audio device, and sampling frequency is 22050Hz. OpenGL to used to draw all graphics. Tools and Technology used: Visual Studio, C++ language, Eclipse, Lua language, Intel Compiler, and OpenCV.

Double bonus to Shunsuke for the great LEGO table in the video. Other winners of the contest categories can be found at the Intel Perceptual Computing Challenge site here.

Share and Enjoy !

Not sure when it came out, but its has over 50k fans.  Its a pretty cool little promotional campaign.  You go to this site meseumofme.intel.com and it will ask for access to your facebook account. Normally and unlike most of the world, I almost never allow app on Facebook.. Yes I’m a buzz kill, but this was an exception, and it was worth it.

Once you sign in, the app will take your information, mostly pictures, and populate a pretty cool 3D animation using Flash. Yes, again if you are on iPad or iPhone, NO VIDEO FOR YOU!  I will post an animation later tonight or tomorrow.  The one thing I have to do is remove the sounds track.  UG.  When you do this, turn the sound off and play something soothing from your own collection. As you can see from the image at the top, or not, all those little images are from my facebook account.  Coolness.

Check it out.

Ok, Video uploaded.  Sounds reduced but not yet removed. The video is not as smooth as the real experience.  Something else I need to fix.

Check it out below.
