But something to think about: 1. The Makerbot: gives an individual the capability to create real objects from a design by means of 3d printing: http:/www.makebot.com 2. 3d design software: Google Sketchup and OpenSCAD. 3. Blender and Croquet 4. ARM processing/ Freescale tower systems / Microchip PIC or similar embedded controllers or a pad computer 5. Robotics Wouldn't it be great if one could some how combine these disparate technologies to get to a working robot? More over model that robot prior to actual construction to the detail of moving it through space. You guys have a tool to help others master robotics if the correct blending of technologies are achieved. I am thinking of something like simulating a controller and then programming it to control an avatar in Croquet, with the ability once things are working to actually go to a working prototype, relatively cheaply.

Onward! is the place to present it and get constructive criticism from other researchers and practitioners. We are looking for grand visions and new paradigms that could make a big difference in how we build software in 5 or 10 years. We are not looking for research-as-usual papers - conferences like OOPSLA are the place for that. Those conferences require rigorous validation such as theorems or empirical experiments, which are necessary for scientific progress, but which unfortunately can also preclude the discussion of early-stage ideas. Onward! also requires validation: mere speculation is insufficient. However Onward! accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. It bears repeating that we strongly encourage the use of worked-out examples to substantiate your ideas. This year, Onward! is reaching out to graduate students.

I'm now seeing Morphic freeze when I step thru ScriptProcesses, but not normal processes. I have some idea of why, but am not familiar enough with ScriptScheduler to draw all the connections. A phenomenon I feel has the same root cause is: When I proceed from a halted ScriptProcess in the debugger (the unmodified debugger), and the tweak window is minimized, it sometimes never actually runs until I unminimize the tweak window. For instance, if I restart a method with a halt in it then proceed, it should nearly immediately hit the halt, but it never actually does so until I un-minimize tweak I can't figure out why either of these happen. I know ScriptProcesses have some interaction with the ScriptScheduler when they start and stop and wait on Semaphores (none of which I really get the point of). However, ScriptProcess doesn't override Process &gt;&gt; suspend or Process &gt;&gt; resume, but it almost seems to be acting as if it di</pre> Matthew Fulmer 2011-01-19T06:08:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.croquet.devel/4327 <pre>Hello Sanyaade, On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 4:03 PM, sanyaade &lt;sanyaade&lt; at &gt;hotmail.com&gt; wrote: Yes, but OpenCroquet.org seems to be is reorganized and the old wiki is not available anymore for now.. strange Anyway, you could use it's current actively developing recipient - OpenCobalt &lt;http://www.opencobalt.org&gt; or still download the old Croquet distribution from here&lt;http://croquet-src-01.oit.duke.edu/updatedCroquetSDK-1.0.25.zip&gt; Ok, I'll try to be clear as possible. Infra red blocking filter is removed from the camera to [enable] infra-red vision. It is needed, as the projector and camera should work in different light's diapasons. Camera inside the table looks/points to the same table's surface, that projector illuminates.Thus camera shouldn't view the visible light, but just infrared for recognizing the printed markers. Yes, PS3 eye camera is generally used as it has ~60 fps and thus is very responsive.

I was at your website yesterday and downloaded the Krestianstvo SDK, the Croquet site seems to be down so could not down load it but I got seaside and some others smalltalk kits. Right now I am downloading the reactivision at sourceforge.net but I am a bit confused on the camera side of things. Do I need infra-red or not for the project? The NUI group guideline says to remove infra red filter from the camera but did not point out the reason for this. My question is --&gt; Is the removal of the filter from the camera allows [enable] infra-red or does it remove [disabled] infra red? Please explain! I asked this as I have some infra-red web camera that I bought from Ebay sometimes ago but it is important to be clear. Many thanks! I must admit that the NUI group website is a very well established knowledge-base portal. I downloaded loads of information and packages from the site and I am going back there.

The table construction diagram is just as the http://reactivision.sourceforge.net/ framework diagram. I used Sony PS3 eye camera, modified as NUI group (http://nuigroup.com) suggests, for working with infrared light and a budget projector 1024*768 (ViewSonic). The composition of camera, projector and infrared illumination depends on how much of the active area of the table wanted to be used. But, want to mention, that the main part of this project is a TUIO and Croquet integration, that allows to develop the new tangible interfaces for multi-user interaction withing shared virtual space. It means, that while not having a real multi-touch table, somebody still could interact with shared Croquet space but using a standard webcam, running reacTIVision instance and using printed fiducial markers.

I will like to see a drawing, plan, etc.. on how the table and the camera and other kits are being set-up. This will be a good learning experience. God blesses!!!

The table is controlled directly by Krestianstvo virtual space and it's objects, being shared on the Croquet island. So, several such tables could be organized into p2p network and become a really interactive classroom, programmable just in Smalltalk. For recognizing objects reacTIVision fiducial markers and TUIO protocol are used (based on Simon Holland TUIO for Squeak work). For music synthesising SuperCollider through OSC is connected, using the idea from SCIMP (SuperCollider Server client for Impromptu) and being realized in Smalltalk. Video of the table in action: http://vimeo.com/18211323 Blog post: http://nsuslovi.blogspot.com/2010/12/multi-touch-table-based-on-krestianstvo.html Thanks and Happy new year!
