There is no handout this week as all of the technologies in the previous one were out of date. We'll follow a different structure this week.
Task: Download the camera vision example code Task: Install Processing Video Library Task: Run the Basic Webcam Connection example Modify the sketch to manipulate the camera feed in some way. Task: Run the Improved Blob Tracking example Click on a colour inside the sketch to track it Task: Install Open CV for Processing Library Task: Run the Face Detection sketch Task: Think of 3 ways to use camera vision & discuss in groups. Presentation: Week 9 Presentation
