Day33 – 05-03-10

We went to the meeting today and were introduced to some “new technology”... I’ve seen it before and it’s already used commercially. Playstation has a game called Eye of Judgment that uses this “technology”. Basically it’s a webcam that can recognize some patterns on a surface and load a specific 3D model. Because the algorithm can detect the pattern and the angles in which the pattern is seen from the camera, it’s possible to rotate the pattern and make the 3D model to spin too. You can see an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsQ-YGgVUT0.The professor has another group of student that will explore this option for our 3D project.

Later we went to Estação Da Luz (Disco far away from the town), because we got some “V.I.P” tickets at Praca the other night. It was quite empty compared to the first time we went there, and I think that’s why they were sharing the free “V.I.P” tickets. It seems like all the clubs hands out flyers and other promotion stuff at Praca every Thursday night, because people go out that day, and because the bars and clubs are afraid of having empty houses when the students go home for the weekend. I think the promotion is okay, but I don’t think it has that big an effect since people already know what the different places are like…
