This is my first experiment using the open source framework WiiFlash. It is an AIR application built using Flash in which the user can generate a Cubist self portrait by pointing a Wiimote at an Infrared light. Webcam footage is masked and layered using a variety of shapes and lines, the propeties of which can be altered using the Wiimote controls.

The controls are as follows:
B adds shapes to the stage
A gives the pseudo random positioning effect
+ increases the scale of the shapes
- decreases the scale of the shapes
up/right increases the alpha of the lines
down/left decreases the alpha of the lines
The AIR app and source code will be available to download soon. You will however need a Wiimote, a bluetooth dongle, the WiiFlash server installed, a webcam and an Infrared light to use it.
Hi James,
Very very nice demo, I love it
You should make an installation
cheers,
Thibault
This is really cool!
I would like to see some more of this

Auspice says : I absolutely agree with this !
what about putting it online? i thought that was what wiiflash was all about?
I didn’t put this online in the end as I didn’t think many people would use it due to the cumbersome setup. A user would need:
A Wiimote
A bluetooth dongle
The WiiFlash server installed
A webcam
an infrared light
I’m fairly busy at the moment with other projects but if you have these items and would like to use this piece I would be happy to post the AIR app. As long as you promise to send a screenshot or 2
I will be creating some online artworks similar to this fairly soon. They will not make use of the WiiFlash server however.
I would love to see the source, and play around with it. I hope you are willing to share this nice peace of work
I have a similar project in the pipeline. I will probably release a stripped back version of the code for that.
I generally don’t like to release all the code for my work as they are whole projects rather than small experiments
did you ever release the demo file?
No I didn’t. I started working on a mouse controlled version but other projects took over. I’ll finish it one day.
Hi,
cool! I am getting started with the Wiiflash framework and i am a bit lost, I am glad to see what is possible to achieve though..
Would you share the code? It certainly would help..
I’d have a few questions, i there a forum where to post them? or a dedicated place for Wiiflash users?
Great project though, Bravo!
