Animated Representations. Multimedia Techniques for Storytelling
2023
The paper presents the results of two case studies that use multimedia language for the knowledge, appreciation and communication of works of art of different epochs, nature and location and that, through the tools of Representation, make use of digital methods of animation and visualisation. The final results concern the creation of multimedia products designed to narrate a conceptual path, through a reasoned animation of raster and vectorial products. Together with the necessary technical and IT skills, it is essential to reaffirm the role of representation, which is central to image processing, recognition of graphic analogies, study of proportions, knowledge of the laws of visual percep…
Continuous hand openness detection using a Kinect-like device
2014
This paper presents a novel method to reproduce in real time the opening and closing gestures of a human hand, animating a three-dimensional model of it. In other works, this result can be achieved by mapping a set of significant points of a real hand on the corresponding points of the model to animate. We propose an alternative way to produce the same effect without mapping points, but using a level-based estimation of the degree of opening of the hand. The experiments have been executed using Microsoft KinectTM, but the method would work on any other Kinect-like devices (as defined herein). The results obtained are particularly encouraging and demonstrate real-time performance of the syst…
