OKGo ‘WTF’ Merry Christmas! [Processing, QC]

Inspired by the brilliant use of an early 80′s concept in the recent OKGo ‘WTF’ video (see below), Mehmet Akten aka memo created this little open-source demo in Processing. It works in real-time with a webcam.

You can download the source here.

Memo writes: I tried to keep the source super minimal and as easy to read as possible. For better results, you can try running an erode on the subtracted image, do a contour analysis and smooth the edges slightly. It also helps to run it in front of an empty wall with stable lighting, and ideally a webcam which has manual exposure / shutterspeed / gain etc.

If you are looking for a QuarzComposer version of the same, Vade made one and you can download it here.
