This section shows results from some of the software programs that I work on from time to time when I have a chance:

(4) DIY isight hack (infrared filter):

This link takes you to a DIY hack of the older Apple i-sight firewire camera. We show you how to take apart the i-sight camera in several easy steps. It turns out that you can put it back together very easily.

(3) Linear-Strip Imaging:

This link takes you to a gallery of linear-strip and panoramic images that I made with custom software, a turntable, and a mini-DV video camcorder. Click on the panoramic icons below to see a larger version of the images.

Click here for a description on building a panoramic turntable with a stepper motor and a BX-24 microcontoller.

(2) Pixel Mapping:


click me

I wrote a little application that maps a small pixel map (grayscale or any RGB gradient) onto a larger image. It's similar (much simpler) to the color index and dithering algorithms. First it scans the image, detects a grayscale value (using the image's green channel), and then replaces an NxN section of the image with a piece of the pixel map corresponding to the closest grayscale value. Click here or on the icon above to see examples of how it works.

(1) Image Clock:


click me

This application is a simple clock. It works by shifting four seperate images for hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. As time ticks on, the four images move a specific distance corresponding to the unit of time divided by the image length. Click here or on the icon to run the application.

coming soon...
