This project has couple of special meaning to me. Fist of all, I moved to NYC to do interactive installation jobs and this is the first project here. FB proposed clients installation projects since I joined and finally Pepsi accepted our proposal. Secondly, I learned how our work with simple idea makes people happy and then they make me happy again while staying in Austin for 5 days of SXSW Interactive. You might understand what I mean after looking at photos I took.

Especially we had to focus on how digital tattoos can be looked real because the main idea was ‘Virtually reskin yourself, then fool your friends‘. Users take a tattoo on their skin and send their friends a photo so that they believe it’s real tattoo. So Here is a list of what I did to add tattoos realism.

  • Matching the quality of tattoo to user photo. Because the kiosk used a built-in low quality camera and the condition of space wasn’t perfect to take best quality photos so the quality of tattoo was reduced to match quality of them dynamically.
  • Multiply Blend mode. It is basically used to overlap a tattoo to skin.
  • Tattoo Opacity.
  • Contour to skin. This part would be the most great part. The displacement map filter which is a Flash built in feature is mainly used to add skinning tattoo realism. The kiosk application reads pixel values, especially red channel this time, from user photos in runtime and performs a displacement effect on tattoos. By controlling amount of distortion, a tattoo can be not only overlapped as flat as a pancake but also mapped to skin based on user photos .
  • Redness Opacity and Thickness.
  • Transforming. This allows user to move, rotate, skew and scale a tattoo.

Lands’ End – Big Boston Warm-up

Posted: November 5th, 2009 | Filed under: 01 Selected Works | No Comments »

Agency: Firstborn / Client: Lands’ End / Date: November 2009 / Role: Lead Developer

This project is my 1st project at Firstborn and my role was lead developer. It was a great experience to meet new people and work together in tight deadline. This campaign was planned for only boston but the client decided to extend to nationwide by being inspired during process, therefore two different websites, bigbostonwarmup.com and bigwarmup.com, were built. The donation campaign was ended successfully by getting over 30,000 coats donated in a month. Here is a link to watch Thank you video from Lands’ End.

Here are technical points.

  • Displaying Coats number donated – Home page displays the number of coats donated by updating status day by day and ‘Where to ‘donate’ page  display each donation number of each store.
  • 3D Virtual installation – We recreated the pubic art installation of 7681 figures into the website by combining 3d pre-rendered images, walking figures’ animation and real-time interactive 3D content. Especially same 3d environment setting like camera angle, object size, position is used between papervision3D and 3d application to mach the red boxes and pre-rendered videos. And multiple layers of 3d components and 2d components are combined to make final virtual installation outlook.

  • Tracking Coats – Persons who donated a coat can check their position on the site by entering a tracking code printed on the receipt. To do this, we built tracking system in order to track each position on the 3D virtual installation.
