All positions will be open for the next academic school year. The President and Treasurer positions are open to those of junior and senior standing and the vice president and secretary is open to all. If you are applying for a position, try to attend the meeting if at all possible to say a few words.

Also, we may or may not have another ACM party after finals week.If you would like this to happen, let us know. The more people that want to do it, the more likely this will happen.

Hi all! Prof. Hsu’s interface workshop will be this Friday, March 2nd! Here’s his description:

This will be an informal workshop/tutorial on working with interface
devices beyond mouse and keyboard. We’ll use Processing, a Java-based
environment that is easy to learn, but powerful enough to be used
for real applications with graphics and animation.

Tentative list of topics:

• quick overview of Processing basics
• programming graphics/animation in Processing
• OpenSoundControl (OSC) protocol
• using TouchOSC with iPhone/iPod Touch and OSC
• real-time camera input and OpenCV
• Kinect hacking

IMPORTANT: Please read the following requirements as well as download/install the corresponding software before coming so we can start working right away.

Download Processing:
http://processing.org/download/

Processing uses Quicktime for Java for video. This should work easily on the Mac.
Windows users should read the following:
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Video_Issues

Note: That whole video thing is kinda a turn off, I know I’ll be in the lab starting at 2 at the latest, so if you don’t want to fuss with this stuff come in and we’ll do it together.

Download OSC for Processing:

Download Daniel Shiffman’s openkinect for Processing library:

Also, don’t forget your webcam if you’re behind the times like me and it’s not actually embedded in your laptop!
