Audio Responsive Projection Mapping 08/10/2010
So I never filmed the last projection mapping that I did at SparkFun, so I decided to redo it, add faces, animated them based of audio levels of the left, right and mix channels. The results were surprisingly hilarious.
Obviously this is just an extremely simple example of what COULD be done on a much larger scale with higher powered projectors on the surface of a building, a half-pipe, bridge, snow sculpture, anything.

Moving on from SparkFun Electronics 08/04/2010
I really enjoyed my time working at SparkFun Electronics, learning tons about embedded electronics, open source hardware and software, UAVs, Arduino, programming and the DIY electronics community. I will miss working in an office with arcade buttons on the front desk, a tweeting kegerator, automated nerf gun with an infrared trip-wire, LED Tetris board, a Giant GPS wall clock, and has a dog to person ratio of about 1:7. Most of all I will miss all the great people still working there and hope to collaborate with them again in the future.
SparkFun definitely lived up to it's name by sparking my interest in electronic prototyping, open source hardware & software, and most importantly the confidence to believe I can make anything I dream up.
My only regret is that I was hired to be a photographer/videographer instead of a job that allowed me work full-time creating electronic and/or software projects.
I'm now hoping to find a career that allows me to actively work on creative human-computer interfaces that push the limits of what people thought was possible.

Projection Mapping with Ultrasonic Sensors 04/28/2010
Did a last minute installation at SparkFun before the Autonomous Vehicle Competition.
It is fairly straight forward installation, it has a bunch of boxes stacked in the corner of the room and an ultra short throw projector on the other side, then in photoshop I mapped out where the boxes were and in Processing I wrote a little sketch to take the Arduino inputs from two ultrasonic rangefinders to scale up the brightness of each side of the boxes. Here is what the projector was projecting... I'll post video later.
I also tried using the Zoom H4n stereo recorder to try audio inputs instead of ultrasonic sensors, it kinda worked, but I didn't want to have music playing during the AVC, so maybe I'll bring that back into it later.
