Grammars were made in Context Free and then rendered using a randomiser code in Processing.

What’s more is that you can drag the cube in any direction you want to rotate it and see other faces on the cube!

I don’t know why the video isn’t how it comes out of the webcam, probably during the conversion between DirectX and QuickTime formats for the Java based program that Processing is.

If you want to play with a similar toy, I’ve uploaded a similar one but with an image on the cube. That’s online for everyone to play with until I finish the one I’m working on.

EDIT: I managed to get it to work properly on another computer.

Items needed:

  • Computer
  • Webcam
  • Cardboard box
  • White paper
  • Large hard clear surface (eg. clear clipboard)
  • Software (available here)

Here are some still images

Joining them on this tour are The Getaway Plan and The Donnas.

Below is the final sketch I created for assignment 2 in Processing.

But here they are…

Click on each of the images for seperate sketches.

To be able to view it, you need a Java plugin, which can be downloaded here

ps. refresh the applet and see what happens!
