Hi all,
I've just finished a crude prototype of a reverse engineered Sensory Substitution Device. It's based on a bit of software available at http://www.seeingwithsound.com/ and basically converts a webcam image into a sound signal.
To run it, (you'll need a webcam attached) first launch the GEM window (big green bang) then click the "Run" toggle.
There are a couple of things I'd like to change:
-
As I've discussed in other topics, I'd like the samples to be of areas rather than points. If anyone knows a way to lower the resolution of a pix in PD, I'd love to hear from you.
-
Presently the abstracted patch which converts the pixels to sound is repeated 64 times (one for each sample). This seems like an inelegant way to do things. In other programming languages one would loop through 0 to 63 and instantiate the patch for each value. I've seen talk about internal messages, but didn't really get it - does anyone have an example of this?
Thanks,
Tom
