Jon
Elsdon (jon@eefx.com)
recently completed his MA in Art and Design from Cal
Poly. His contribution to our work has been invaluable.
We hope to fund Jon Elsdon in the near future as a full-time
professional collaborator and developer both for the
Lumiere Ghosting Project and as one of the central team
members in the development of the CompuObscura.
Jon developed all the motion
tracking models we use to track participants in the
CompuObscura, employing very low tech solutions that
are brilliant and cunning uses of limited technical
resources. Jon also created all the 3D-modeled demonstrations
of the projected environment inside the CompuObscura.
You have already seen many of Jon's images scattered
throughout this site (which are also credited on the
Citations page), as well
as his short video
that demonstrates the process of capturing the image
of a CompuObscura participant, mapping that image data
to a digital puppet and then dropping that puppet into
a virtual environment created from real-world images.
