More Flash Halloween Webcam Toys
Welcome to this time of the year again when people scoop out pumpkin seeds and costume shops make their year's worth of sales during one weekend. Halloween! So nice to be kids again. **And now you can be one too, without even leaving your computer desk – just hit the images below and have some fun.**
We've teamed up with Leipzig Flash studio [Tastenkunst](http://www.tastenkunst.com/) and made these two apps. Marcel Klammer and his team had developed [Beyond Reality Face](http://www.beyond-reality-face.com/) technology which allows using human faces as markers for augmented reality. [PhotoBoo](http://7evenine.com/photoboo/) substitutes the face so you can experience how does it feel to be a (dead) celebrity.
[GooTube](http://7evenine.com/gootube) is based on my last year's experiment – [Black Hole Sun](http://play.blog2t.net/face-com-hislope-halloween-demo/) and similarly uses [face.com API](http://face.com) technology to find feature points in a face, but then [BRF's Point Tracker](http://www.beyond-reality-face.com/sdkPT) is used to track these points and finally [HiSlope](https://github.com/og2t/HiSlope) helps to apply the distortions to the live webcam feed.
**Both apps utilise FaceBook connect so it's even easier to socially share your alter ego (and even set your FB profile pic!)**
Now go and make goofies out of yourselves. And don't forget to spread the word - boooooooooo!
Many thanks to PtitJean for his initial face.com API for AS3.

Flash on the Beach 2011 recap
Another awesome FOTB is over.  I had a big pleasure (and even a greater stress haha!) to be a speaker this year – thanks to John Davey and everybody voting and coming to see my [Riding the HiSlope!](/speaking-at-fotb2011/) session – it means a lot to me. Generally, I like to improve things and I will be grateful for any feedback. I've seen many inspiring talks, meet tons of people, drunk loads, made new friendships (hi Polish Flash Mafia) etc. All that resulted to a massive body strike which I am still recovering from. It was so worth it though. Right, I don't think my session slides would do best on their own, so won't put them up (unless you demand). Here's the list of topics I've covered with the references: ####HiSlope The framework (yes, I dare to call it framework for sometime, used to be a toolkit) which my session was about. [Download/fork HiSlope from github](http://github.com/og2t/HiSlope) and start by reading [WIKI](http://github.com/og2t/HiSlope/wiki). ####Haar Cascades Used for face (and face features) detection. A [great research done by Adam Harvey](http://ahprojects.com/blog/visualizing-haar-cascade-files) and his [CV dazzle](http://cvdazzle.com) – [how to stop the machines recognising faces](http://ahprojects.com/blog/haar-cascade-target-areas) (if we ever need to). Then finally the video showing [scanning and matching the wavelets](http://vimeo.com/12774628). ####Integral image As described in the [Servo magazine](http://www.cognotics.com/opencv/servo_2007_series/part_2/sidebar.html). ####Blob Detection Check my [blog post](http://play.blog2t.net/fast-blob-detection) which is actually the 2nd hit when you google for "blob detection". ####Halftoning and Rasterization Sort of old stuff but never released before. Download [HiSlope](https://github.com/og2t/HiSlope) and check the [Halftoning Demo](https://github.com/og2t/HiSlope/blob/master/examples/src/HalftoningDemo.as)  ####face.com API Check [face.com](http://developers.face.com/) and [face.com AS3 wrapper](https://github.com/og2t/AS3FaceApi) by [ptitJean](https://github.com/ptitJean) and forked by me. There are updates on the way (some already in HiSlope), mainly parsing face attributes into VOs and the new [FaceBook OAuth 2.0 support](http://developers.face.com/2011/09/deprecating-old-facebook-authentication-use-only-oauth-2-0-access-tokens/). ####BRF Amazing SDK for Point Tracking and Estimating the Face Position developed by [TastenKunst](http://www.tastenkunst.com). Download free SDK at [http://www.beyond-reality-face.com](www.beyond-reality-face.com) Big thanks to [Marcel Klammer](http://twitter.com/MarcelKlammer) (I love you!) and Christian Walther (still not sure what the heck you were doing in that hotel room) for loads of help and remote moral support. ####IN2AR Although not covered in my session, the big [Eugene](http://twitter.com/inspirit)'s thing is worth a mention – [IN2AR](http://www.in2ar.com). Haven't had a chance to include it in HiSlope but I guess this is inevitably coming ;-) ####Doomsday Console 2 Amazing console developed by the mighty Andreas Rønning (how's your bum dude?) – download from [http://code.google.com/p/doomsdayconsole/](http://code.google.com/p/doomsdayconsole). I am looking deeply into it, it may result in writing some UI plugins and/or HiSlope integration/collaboration/whatever. Good work! Last thing – I was hugely impressed by [Seb's](http://sebleedelisle.com) PixelPhones, I've had a similar concept, except Seb had done it – and it's far far better that I'd ever do it. Lots of people had asked how this was done and I shall describe it (with a little demo) in my next blog post. Stay tuned. 02:10 PM | posts | 1 Comment | Tags: fotb, talk, hislope, presentation, funOctober 31, 10
face.com + HiSlope Halloween mash-up
The idea was chasing me for a while but there was no time to finish it. Until now... Halloween! – seems to be perfect day for this. So, here you go: HiSlope + face.com API mash-up, click below and go into some wild disguise!

Boiling the soft egg aka Webcam Stories
If you came here after seeing my FOTB talk – that's great! Thank you! Make sure you've seen the [Black or White vs Machine Vision mash-up](http://play.blog2t.net/files/black-or-white/) first. Then head to the HiSlope GitHub repo to [download/fork the HiSlope toolkit](http://github.com/og2t/HiSlope) and have fun. **Yes, HiSlope is opensource!** I am going to add more examples, couple of cool and previously unreleased Pixel Bender filters and more tutorials/documentation soon, so make sure you [follow me on Twitter @blog2t](http://twitter.com/blog2t). Please send comments and feedback, I'd really like to hear from you! Any Q&As - catch me at the conference.
__Update:__ I've added the video from my pitch.
