Single-Camera Stereoscopy from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.

Kyle McDonald says, Leaving Termini in Rome, in 3D. Uses the parallel viewing technique en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy Recorded on a single camera at 25 fps, with the right side delayed by one frame. Assuming the train was going 40 k/h, each frame is about 44 cm apart — a bit more than the width of human eyes, but not significant enough to destroy the effect.

You can do this for yourself so long as you separate the left/right with a delay that creates about the width between the human eyes between perspectives. As a rule of thumb, at 30 fps, 1 frame is approximately the distance in centimeters of your speed in kilometers/hour (10 km/h / 30 fps = 9.2 cm).

I’ve done a few experiments with stereo photos back when i was doing pinhole stuff. Now I just need a video 3D viewer!

Kristen O’Friel made this super clever haptic navigation device which can lea you around town just by leaning. Besides being insanely cool, it’s cute!

My Gutter Problem from Bre Pettis on Vimeo.

I’m making a video everyday this week. Today I’ve been working on learning how to make 3D models in Blender. It’s a brutal learning curve and I haven’t had time to make a things video so I popped up to my roof and made this video about my overflowing gutter.

I recently lost my scarf and so I fired up the knitting machine and with the help of Kellbot and Diana Eng, I had a scarf in no time flat!

Eric Skiff’s back hurt and his neck was strained from hunching over his laptop. He needed to get it up off the table. Can he make his vision for a laptop stand a reality with a little help from a laser cutter?

(If you need an awesome steampunk-style portable laptop stand, Eric’s got the laptop stand for sale!)

Eric Michaud needed a fork and he needed one bad if he was going to eat his ramen with any self respect. He whipped one up in QCAD and had one lazzzored by the time his ramen was done!

Eric is also starting up a hacker space in Chicago called the Pumping Station!

I’m having a great time making a video every day! If you haven’t checked out the other 4 videos I’ve made this month, check them out! You can find them here on my blog, on blip.tv, on vimeo, and on youtube! Of course for most people the easiest thing to do is to just subscribe in iTunes and get them automatically!

So, you already know that I’m making videos like crazy this month. So far I’ve done three things videos. Today it’s “Take It Apart Tuesday” so I’m taking something apart!

George gave me a hard drive that’s dead. Rather than throw it out, I’m going to take it apart and see what I can salvage! To do this, I’m using a screwdriver with a  Mini Torx Screwdriver Set.

Adam Cecchetti wanted a chess set and he wanted it now. He got right to it and rapid prototyped one! He used inkscape to design it and a lasercutter to cut it out of acrylic.

Once I’ve shot the video and edited it, it’s time to upload it and publish it. Here’s my publishing checklist!

• Export a full resolution file from iMovie.
• Open it in quicktime pro and watch it one last time so I know I haven’t missed any editing flaws.
• Compress it by exporting an “appleTV” version of the video which gives me a nice M4V.
• Upload that to Tube Mogul and then crosspost to Blip, Youtube, Howcast, Google, and Yahoo.
• Manually upload to Vimeo and Facebook and Flickr since tubemogul crossposting doesn’t work for those. Also Tumblr!
• Write the post on my blog to go with the video.
• Grab the embed code and the video file permalink from blip.tv.
• Publish it on my blog and twitter about the blogpost. Through the magic of the internet, the post automatically shows up on my soup and the twitter automatically shows up as facebook message.  I include a subscription link to iTunes. There are lots of ways to subscribe to my videos, but that one is the easiest for the most people.
• I then try and tell a few friends about it when I’m done because I’ve just done a bunch of work and it’s nice to get some feedback. If you leave comments on my videos it makes me super happy.

So that’s my checklist. It takes a while! Let me know if you do anything different or have any questions about it or any ideas that I’m missing here!

Bill is a good friend of mine and he’s joining me in making a video every weekday in November. His series is called “Rock Star” and he’s starting out with this video: Women Love Voters!
