Verktøykassen: Introduction to openFrameworks and face recognition
Published
In this Verktøykassen we will look into openFrameworks which is a creative tool consisting of C ++ libraries with open source code such as openGL (Graphic Language) and openCV (Computer Vision). openFrameworks is designed designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation.
In the workshop we will show you how to set up openFrameworks on your computer using Xcode on Mac or Visual Studio on Windows. We will go through the basic functions for displaying graphics on the screen as well as take a closer look at the add-on ofxFaceTracker2 which does face recognition.
To participate in this workshop, we recommend that you have some experience with programming or other creative software such as VDMX, Vuo, TouchDesigner, Max or similar.
Bring your own laptop with Xcode (Mac) or Visual Studio (Windows) pre-installed. Please see here for what components you need for Visual Studio.
