Myselves

Another variation on my project “Sound of Life” called “Myselves”.
When a person comes in front of a camera, a picture is taken and processed so that only the face of the person is kept. The picture of the face is then used to replace all the tracked spermatozoa.
For now, the picture is taken manually by pressing a key on the keyboard of the computer but in the future the picture will be taken automatically by detecting the presence of a person (that can be done by software or hardware).

I’ve uploaded a short demo video on Flickr and YouTube.
I’ve uploaded a second demo video of Sperm Soccer too. The quality is much better and the program has been improved.

Sperm Soccer

Based on my “Sound of Life” project, I just completed a first version of a small game that is played by my semen. The game is a kind of soccer game mixed with Pong. Everything is controlled by the computer (selection of the team members, tracking) but for the future versions I’m thinking to allow people selecting the team members (through Wiiremotes for examples) to make the game more interactive.

There’re still a lot of things that I have to do to make “Sperm Soccer” more interesting:
- adding music/sounds,
- more “intelligent” behavior for the team members,
- more “evolved” game (more soccer-like, less pong-like).
