Congratulations, the array of Ps3eye (so it seems) cameras is amazingly simple and has a nice result in panoramic rendering/blending. Love the cave effect generated there.<div><br></div><div>Congratulations on the project, I'm definitely on the lookout for this one. </div>

Hello All!<br>
<br>
I want to announce the official release of the Extended View Toolkit.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://puredata.info/Members/Weitsicht/extended-view-toolkit/" target="_blank">http://puredata.info/Members/Weitsicht/extended-view-toolkit/</a><br>
<br>
The Extended View Toolkit is a set of abstractions developed for the art installation "Extended View streamed".<br>
It is intended to be an easy solution to experiment and realise panoramic video and complex multiscreen projection <br>
environments to createimmersive media experiences.<br>
<br>
It features a set of abstractions that are able to combine multiple related image-sources <br>
(like video input, video playback) into aconsistent panoramic image. <br>
The source-material, e.g. the camera to display has to be aligned horicontally, since image-combination <br>
is based on simple, openGL basededge-blending and not algorithmic pix by pixel comparison.<br>
<br>
Furthermore it features abstractions to create multi-screen, multi-projector environments to enable <br>
correct representation of (not only)panoramic material. The projection abstractions can be combined <br>
to form big screens out of multiple projectors with softedge betweenoverlapping borders of single <br>
projectors and contain a vertex model that can be adjusted in 4, respectively 9 points, so that <br>
projections onchallenging geometric surfaces is possible.<br>
<br>
Additionally, all abstractions are controllable via OSC-styled send/receive-messages, which simplifies <br>
OSC-based external control.<br>
<br>
Also, since streaming video was part of the project, a gstreamer based streaming solution was developed <br>
by Peter Innerhofer to distribute panoramic/multistream video over network. <br>
It can be found here: [<a href="https://github.com/peonic/streaming" target="_blank">https://github.com/peonic/streaming</a>]<br>

Libraries needed: mrpeachBuilt with pd 42.6 and GEM 92.3<br>

<br>
The project was made possible through support from IEM-Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (<a href="http://iem.at" target="_blank">iem.at</a>) <br>
and CO-ME-DI-A.<br>
The CO-ME-DI-A project is supported by the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) <br>
of the European Comission forthe period 2007 - 2010 ([<a href="http://www.comedia.eu.org/]" target="_blank">http://www.comedia.eu.org/]</a>).<br>

Your feedback is welcome!<br>
