E-studio, rm 2220, Art Department, 2nd floor

Tues: 10am-12pm (lecture)
Thurs: 10am-12pm (lab)


Course Description
  A projects based, lecture and lab course to explore the intersections of the optical camera and computers. Lecture topics will trace the use of the optical camera from analog historical models, to experiments in multiple exposure, spatial exploration, uses in surveillance, medical, astronomy, data collection, and cameras as sensors for machine vision and motion sensing.

Students define a project which may focus on creating non-conventional cameras, computer/machine vision, interactive techniques, exploration of devices dealing with optical representation such as anamorphs, or non-optical image scanning (MRI, CAT scans, etc.) Final work is a project documented through a research paper and project presentation.
