After months of work and teasing photos, I’m finally able to publicly share some video of Herovision in action:

There’s a little more detail on CreateDigitalMotion, and there will be plenty more to come here, after the official Herovision launch at the Game On Party this Saturday at Queensland State Library.

Herovision Full-Test Party

After a few more weeks of soldering, cabling, and more often then not getting distracting actually playing Rock Band / Guitar Hero, we’ve managed to put together a pretty decent working beta that we’re pretty happy with. We tested it all with a celebration of good people, good food, good drink and good fun at Jaymis’ place. It’ll all be tweaked a bit more before a live public event for the Game-On Exhibition Party next Saturday. See pics and the full set here.

Herovision-Prototyping…the beginning

It all must start somewhere. And so it did, with a guitar-hero controller, friendly thermo-plastic, a number of cameras, and an idle thursday afternoon. We experimented with cabling, feedback, visual effects, and camera mounting. Jaymis’ trusty Vixid VJX16-4 mixer provided the centre piece, and we realised the awesome power of this device. Photos from the modding and first playing test session are here.

Unboxing and playing with dozens of mini cameras. Plenty of fun. Photostream here.
