Retina tips

Posted on March 6, 2014 by Nuno Correia

For enabling retina images, use this code in main.mm (between main() and ofRunApp()):

ofAppiOSWindow * iOSWindow = new ofAppiOSWindow();
ofSetupOpenGL(iOSWindow, 1024, 768, OF_FULLSCREEN);		
iOSWindow->enableRetina();

Revision exercise

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Nuno Correia

Exercise for 6/3:

Make a portfolio app, with at least 3 sections, using mostly images. For example, the whole screen(s) could be an image. Or just the navigation menu (for example in the bottom).

Add different media, not just images (for example text, sound and/or video).

Change the default OF icons and startup screen.

If instead of portfolio you’d like to do something else, respecting a similar structure, you can do it. If you want to do something more complicated, go ahead also. The idea is to do an app in 3 hours.

The course focuses on using multitouch interaction to create engaging experiences using different media elements. Multiple devices will be used, with an emphasis on mobile phones/tablets and the iOS platform. Other devices and platforms will also be discussed.

The main development environment for the course will consist of openFrameworks/C++ with Xcode. Students should have previously attended the Software Studies for Media Designers course, or demonstrate having acquired equivalent skills. Students are required to plan, develop, document and present a project at the end of the course.

Schedule:

25/Feb – Introduction and developer registration
26/Feb – The development environment (oF, C++, Xcode); text
27/Feb – Generative graphics; multi-touch; accelerometer
28/Feb – Bitmap image

04/Mar – Video; sound
05/Mar – Prototyping; navigation
06/Mar – GUI; classes
07/Mar – Project proposals – presentation and discussion

Snore generator

Posted on December 10, 2013 by isseyishikura

However I am not sure I myself don’t do that, I hate to be waken up by someone’s snore during my sweet slumber.
So (?), I decided to simulate snore by using OF.

The goal is making snore generator which has interface interacts with mouse position.

Pi Mapper

Posted on December 10, 2013 by krisjanis.rijnieks

Mapping View Surface View
There different kinds of projection mapping applications on many platforms and the most powerful that I’ve used so far is the MadMapper on the Mac OS X operating system. You won’t need anything else for projection mapping for the most part of possible projection mapping scenarios, but the trouble begins when you have a limited budget for your project and there is a need for multiple screens.

This is where the Pi Mapper comes in. It is a projection mapping solution for the Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a very cheap and small computer that is built around a processor that is being used in smartphones like the iPhone. It has a powerful graphics processing unit that is able to play Full HD videos smoothly.

The Pi Mapper solution consists of an openFrameworks application that runs on the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi itself runs Debian Linux. There is a web server on the Raspberry Pi that hosts the control panel web interface. You can connect to the Raspberry Pi from any web-browser on almost any platform.
