For some reason I don’t know, The Foundry doesn’t make Nuke support .BMP’s read/write. License issue? Anyway, we does have some files coming as .BMP such that I code this bmpReader with help of FreeImage. Hopefully, someone gets benefits from it.

Some demo appear interesting to me this year: Matrix LED Unit FuSA2 Touch Display 360-degree Autostereoscopic Display (It’s Autostereo! Definitely take a look at it!) Beyond the Surface (from Taiwan!) Head-mounted Photometric Stereo (This reminds me what has been done in ICT Graphics Lab led by Paul Debevec ) Touch Light Through the Leaves (Anything more weird and abstract than this one?) QuintPixel (HDR Display?) Acroban the Humanoid (Much more interesting and cute than robots developed by CMU)

Check it out! All other animations in 華夏技術學院/數位媒體設計系 : A4 。 PS. 我印象最深刻的，就這部陀螺島與 Paper Deal 了，可惜 Paper Deal 沒有全片。 PS 2. 作品普遍都有「時間過長」的問題，得學著 narrow down storyline. ...

Our human perceptual systems have been driving changes in our entertainment media, one sensor at a time. Since we are built to see motion, pictures naturally evolved into motion pictures. Motion pictures evolved to incorporate sound, color, 3D sound, and 3D vision. We use all of these, all day long. There’s no reason we would want to give any of them up when we watch a movie. When sound first came out, a lot of people complained that it was a gimmick. “So, what’re you gonna do, have every movie be a musical now?” They didn’t think about the emotional impact of hearing just regular dialogue’s nuances, nor of a full soundtrack. They were so used to working another way that it never occurred to them to ask, what becomes possible now that wasn’t possible before? ...

從 gugod 的OSDC / RubyConf TW 2010 複習 得知了 3D Bookmarklet 這玩意兒，趕緊拿自己的網站來試試： 程式碼裏頭，有關 anaglyph 的部分如下： e.style.color='rgba(255,0,0,0.5)'+imp; e.style.textShadow=d+'px 0 0 rgba(0,255,192,0.5)'+imp; 如果能採用 Half Color Anaglyph 或是 Optimized Anaglyph 公式的話，然後是對整個畫面處理（包含 img, css 裏的 background image/color, color）等處理，那就更完美了 :) ...

DrupalCamp Taiwan 2010 was announced by DrupalTaiwan . It has been preparing the programs for a while and fortunately (and surprisingly), I am asked/invited to have a talk (or more than one session?!) if possible~ The issue is, I don’t know what to share for this Drupal event in this 2010 hot summer? No idea at all. Actually, I doubt having anything to share ;) Anyway, share this information to anyone interested in it.
