This is completely awesome. But really, what a neat concept.
Projection Mapping Onto Turntables on Vimeo
“This is a projection mapping project we’ve been working on for about a month as of uploading. It’s a user interface for Serato Scratch Live that is vinyl rotation reactive, as well as sound reactive, and makes it possible to mix using Serato without having to look at your computer screen whatsoever. We Have Real time Waveforms Streaming across our mixers, or our vinyl platters, and we have started to incorporate video effects that are controlled by wii remotes. We are also working on controlling effects with motion capturing using a camera. Much more to come! The Song from the video was made by one of the creators of all the cool stuff you saw in the video: Mark Morris”
I can appreciate why you think you’ve been ripped off, as we are accomplishing a lot of the same goals. The engineers behind this have had to conquer all of the same problems that you have, without your help, and have gone as far as to design hardware and program software to do what you’ve done with serato and mix emergency, so that we can do the same thing with real vinyls. It’s been a really fun project, and a lot of the ideas have spawned from one of the engineers dreams. Like i’ve said all over the place, Much respect to you and what you do, keep it up brotha.
I saw the real vinyls, and that was cool, but I’m talking about the presentation, the readouts on the platters, the waveforms on the mixer and the vinyls, all appearing after the work I’d done.
I left enough info around on how to do it, but man, everyone sees that vid and think it’s your guys original idea, do you really think that’s true?
While you may have also accomplished many of the same tasks, the boys behind this calculated their own approach. We do this because we love it and we aren’t selling a product… We are both using resources available around us. As I’ve said much respect, let’s see where we can take this.
seriouscyrus, you think you’re the first to do this?? im sure plenty of people have had this idea and so on and so forth, so just enjoy it. I think this is some tightttt shit. Keep up the work guys
There’s a couple art projects that do generative music on one table, but otherwise, no. And it’s easy to look at something, then think, i could have thought of that. But no one does.
if i took someons track, analysed, remade it, and told everyone i came up with it myself, they’d be a bit pissed too, thee work i put into remaking it don’t count for nothing.
seriouscyrus, yeah i understand blatantly copying something. But do you think all ideas come from visual stimulation? im sure plenty of people before and after you have seen what serato can do and has done this without seeing someone else do it first just like you say you did. Then they could in fact say you copied them right? Not trying to step on your toes, just trying to explain that they probably didn’t copy you in fact just had a great idea and went with it and had a similar end product.
Xbox Kinetic integration would be kinda cool for this, to say pick up on gestures to scroll though the browser, maybe even effects. A projected “midi controller” could also be a possibility.
I really wouldn’t have minded so much if they’d credited me for the idea, when i first posted my vids, i’d pretty much detailed my process online in a forum as i advanced, prob stupid.
