When: April 21st @7pm
Cost: Members/Free Non-Members/$10 suggested donation

We are going to explore the new open source software Animata. From the website:

The peculiarity of the software is that the animation -
the movement of the puppets, the changes of the background - is
generated in real-time, making continuous interaction possible. This
ability also permits that physical sensors, cameras or other
environmental variables can be attached to the animation of characters,
creating a cartoon reacting to its environment. For example, it is
quite simple to create a virtual puppet band reacting to live audio
input, or set up a scene of drawn characters controlled by the movement
of dancers.

Well take a look at the software, and see what it takes to make this go. At the end, well post the user reviews to our blog.
