Hanami

Sakura in Fukuoka Hanami or flower viewing is commonly associated with the act of viewing cherry blossoms. I think I’ve found my idea for my Computational Cameras final. It has an intresting history that dates back to the 18th century on how a single flower can symbolize extreme beauty and a quick death due to [ READ MORE ]

Help me decide

What to do for my finals?? I have a bunch and need to narrow them down and focus on ONE project for the next two weeks. 1. Enhance the AR project. I would actually move the AR codes into playing cards and laying them down the table would project different words. I was thinking of [ READ MORE ]
