App Misuse

I used 360 Panorama to show you a few rooms in my house:

I’m familiar with long exposure already, which works best with a DSLR — here’s a few cool photos I’ve taken over the years.

And finally, I tested out Poloska, a slit-scanning app. I’m absolutely in love.

Testing and breaking the Super SloMo video interpolation algorithm

Using Super SloMo by Jiang H. et. al (Python/run on Windows 10):

I. Tests with a GoPro Hero8 in slow motion mode:

4x. Lots of distortion — there is a jumpy pause too.

Notes: Had to reduce video quality to 720p to stop the algorithm from crashing. 2x slow factor works pretty well, 4x produces some jumpy / distortion effects.

In general, the algorithm produces a little distortion on the corners of videos.

II. “Breaking” the algorithm using some timelapse footage

Notes: This weirdness works best with footage that has people / objects entering and leaving a space.

III. Transition between two images (using two friends I’ve met before)

display.land misuse

I chose to play with the photogrammetry app display.land.

To think about ways to misuse it, I checked out the tutorials for inspiration.

EXPERIMENTS

when you’re capturing, there is a little progress bar on the bottom, showing you the minimum amount of capturing you need to do to make an image. I wondered what would happen if I ended the capture early. But it wouldn’t let me:

the app says “direct sunlight is ok, but beware of your own shadow.” –> to misuse, I tried allowing my own shadow to interfere. spoiler alert – it looks absolutely terrible. The funny thing is though, my shadow doesn’t appear in it anywhere…

It’s supposed to be a swingset. check it out here: https://displayland.app.link/DP2IsgPPa5

in general, you’re not supposed to do photogrammetry with transparent/clear objects –> to misuse, I captured my water glass.

I tried to capture something smaller, and from below – a chain hanging from the ceiling. Somehow, the anchor point of the chain was preserved, but the links exploded all over the place.

Dsiplay.Land, HyperLapse, and Slit-Scan fun

This is a hyperlapse video I made of the cat I have taken charge of in quarantine –> Meet Twigs. Looking forward to playing around with this more, too!

2. This is a 3D model made with Display.Land from a short walk I took. Instead of trying to actually capture a specific area/object, I let the camera just move forward and it created a much more heavily warped model. Some of my more disruptive experiments didn’t compile into videos that would work within the app. I like it and will keep messing around with it.
