WEEK 24 Part 2
Degree Show Planning
20/3/26- Make the horizontal wooden pole adjustable (currently being screwed in), and make it longer
- Figure out the maximum resolution of the short-throw projector and buy a net curtain accordingly, because right now, it is not wide enough
- See if the screen can be extended lengthwise (depends on the projector size)
- WindowCOMP - 1690 x 1200
- Does a USB 3.0 extension cable not work with the Kinect because data travels more slowly? Try with a different Kinect or restart the computer with the wire attached
- To get the image to be projected from floor to ceiling, the projector has to be far away from the net curtain
- Kinect needs to be positioned at hip level and not at a bird's eye view, so the body is projected proportionately (a tall tripod would work well)
- Mafalda suggested having two Kinects for the installation - one for my performance and one for the audience's interactivity
- Soft lighting will be used for facial illumination, maintaining visibility through the net curtain for the audience
To project work onto a net curtain using a projector, I would need to connect a WindowCOMP to the OutTOP and adjust the following settings (refer to the image below). After that, click on the "Perform" button under the Open as Perform Window feature.
