Stop motion animation is notoriously difficult to pull off well, in large part because it’s a mind-numbingly slow process. Each frame in the final video is a separate photograph, and …read more Continue reading Mastering Stop Motion through Machine Learning
Back before the days of computers, animation was drawn by hand. We typically think of cartoons and animated feature films, but there were other genres as well. For example, animation …read more Continue reading Animation in Education, 1950’s Style
Join us on Wednesday, June 16 at noon Pacific for the Art with Technology Hack Chat with Cory Collins! As hackers, we naturally see the beauty of technology. We often …read more Continue reading Art with Technology Hack Chat
All feats of engineering build on a proper understanding of the basic engineering concepts. Learning these concepts from a book or class tends to be a rather uninspiring exercise, unfortunately. …read more Continue reading Learn Engineering Concepts With Some Cool Animations
Everyone by now has probably seen the original — and best; fight us — installment of the Star Wars franchise, and likely the ASCII-art animation version of it that improves …read more Continue reading Enjoy an ASCII Version of Star Wars in the Palm of Your Hand for May the 4th
Few things get a Hackaday staffer excited like bunches of tiny LEDs. The smaller and denser the better, any form will do as long as we can get a macro …read more Continue reading A HALO of LEDs for Every Ear
Google rarely fails to impress with technology demos. Their latest — Monster Mash — is aimed at using artificial intelligence to allow the creation of simple 3D animations without a …read more Continue reading 3D Animation for All Thanks to Google AI
Typically, motion capture systems are confined to one studio containing multiple cameras, and they require subjects to wear sensor-equipped body suits. A new setup, however, is based around a single chest-mounted camera.Continue ReadingCategory: Scienc… Continue reading Wearable motion capture tech uses a single fisheye camera
The uses of artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to expand, with one of the more recent implementations being video processing. A new method can “fill in” frames to smooth out the appearance of the video, which [LegoEddy] was able to use this in one of his animated LEGO movies …read more
Typically when we select a project for “Fail to the Week” honors, it’s because something went wrong with the technology of the project. But the tech of [Leo Fernekes]’ innovative LED sign system was never the problem; it was the realities of scaling up to production as well as the …read more
