Jitter

Edit

Learn about Live Video in the Max Environment

Edit

Following an introduction to the graphical programming environment for interactive projects, participants will learn to use video matrices and the processes of analysis.

Prerequisites 

Mastery of the Macintosh environment (OS X), use of a camera and a video projector, knowledge of video cable terminology, prior knowledge of the Max environment is preferable (Max basic tutorials).

Objectives

Gain a global understanding of the possibilities of Jitter (OpenGL programming, Java, shaders).
Aquire the foundations necessary to manipulate 2D and 3D images.
Be able to create a complete chain of acquisition, analysis, video treatments, and the display of an image using basic modules.
