Im finding all this projector mapping and calibration very interesting a tthe minute. A continuation of the previous ‘augmented sculpture’ posted last month, Here is another interesting method of calibration…

Adobe Thermo

Something I’ve only just come accross. Looks like this will be a useful tool in future. It can be used for fast prototyping, and communicating ideas quickly and efficiently to a client.

Especially for me as a programming dummy. You can add interactivity to PS files for example and create a real working application. This gives a designer full fidelity for what the application may be like.

This in turn will increase work flow between designer > developer as generally speaking the design can usually be given to the developer drawn out/printed on a piece of paper. This could give a fully functional application for the developer to visualise with.

Source code is also implmented whilst creating the application so the developer can program on to whats already there…

Bring on design integrated developing software!!
