We will survey state-of-the-art techniques and emerging ideas, in the industry and in academia, to capture, model, and render objects, people, places and events. The course evaluation will be project-based, in which students will capture a wide variety of things, and develop projects around the data they collect. We will cover capture techniques including motion capture, video-based capture, panoramic and hyperspectral imaging, depth sensors, 3D scanners, hand and eye-gaze trackers; classic and contemporary representations of face and body pose and motion; and recent progress in animation, synthesis, classification, and rehabilitation on new forms of displays. Please note that there are usage/materials fees associated with this course. -*This syllabus contains many contributions from [James George](http://jamesgeorge.org/) and [Alexander Porter](http://alexanderporter.net/) (of [Specular.cc](http://www.specular.cc/)), [Pablo Garcia](http://pablogarcia.org/), [Jeffrey Hinkelman](https://twitter.com/jeffhinkelman), [Matt Gray](http://www.northeastern.edu/camd/theatre/people/matt-gray/), [Yaser Sheikh](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~yaser/), and others.* +*This syllabus contains many contributions from [James George](http://jamesgeorge.org/) and [Alexander Porter](http://alexanderporter.net/) (of [Specular.cc](http://www.specular.cc/)), [Pablo Garcia](http://pablogarcia.org/), [Jeffrey Hinkelman](https://twitter.com/jeffhinkelman), [Kyle McDonald](http://kylemcdonald.net/), [Matt Gray](http://www.northeastern.edu/camd/theatre/people/matt-gray/), [Yaser Sheikh](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~yaser/), and others.* -- ### Learning Objectives diff --git a/docs/bullettime.md b/docs/bullettime.md index 52f57344..33b9bd95 100644 --- a/docs/bullettime.md +++ b/docs/bullettime.md @@ -14,8 +14,10 @@ An excellent technical overview can be found at digitalair.com: ### For Viewing and Consideration -* [The Matrix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNrSNcaYiZg) "The original" +* [Tim Macmillan's early work](https://vimeo.com/6165108) (1980 - 1994). +* [*The Matrix*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNrSNcaYiZg), The film that popularized the method. * [The Matrix: raw footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKEcElcTUMk) +* [Olivier Gondry for Tiga, *You Gonna Want Me*, ](https://vimeo.com/73638593): long exposure bullet time (2005). * [How does it work?
