Music Boxel: Naked-Eye 3D Display And Web Socket Based Multi User Interaction [video]

The latest installation/project by Aircord, building on their 3D projected screens, includes a Naked-eye 3D Display with Web Socket based multi user interaction.

Back in July 2010, we showed you how, using a custom app and crystallography, Aircord Labs from Japan took iPad’s display into the third dimension. The latest installation/project by Aircord, building on their 3D projected screens, includes a Naked-eye 3D Display with Web Socket based multi user interaction. The setup works around allowing multiple users to scan QRcode, be redirected to a website accessible via mobile Safari browser and interacting simultaneously with a 3d display by adding a voxel to make a trigger on a timeline of virtual music box.

Display/Audio-Visual Program by aircord inc. made with : openFrameworks, SuperCollider
Server/Mobile Interface by Uniba Inc. made with : node.js, CSS3/HTML5

Interpath for iPhone

The Interpath for iPhone application allows for a remote pathologist to review and navigate high quality images of diagnostic quality using either the cellular network or WIFI networks on the iPhone. Using the application rapid specialist referrals can be made, without access to a computer, a microscope or the original specimen. The image can be reviewed by the pathologist and used to provide a diagnosis used in cancer and other disease treatments.

The system consists of a generic high quality microscope slide scanner, of which there are several currently on the market. A server where the images are located and the iPhone. The iPhone is used to access the large image that is stored in the server but only to retrieve relevant parts. Using the multi-touch interface that the iPhone provides, an intuitive interface is provided that allows the user to navigate and view images of interest in a similar way to that provided by Google Earth. There are plans to put this system into immediate trials prior to consideration of its integration into our patient treatment workflow.

PS : this is an amazing application , but i feel the need to make a stupid remark : that looks like Wu-Tang Clan’s logo 😛
