Holopainting is a combination of the Light Painting, Stop Motion and Hyperlapse technique to create three dimensional light paintings.
We didn’t want to use computer generated images, so we built a giant 3D scanner out of 24 Raspberry Pis with their webcams. These cameras took photos from 24 different perspectives of the person in the middle with a delay of 83 milliseconds, so the movement of the person also was recorded.
After that we spent endless hours cutting out each photo, so we would have the person on a black solid as background. We then made a hyperlapse around a light painting artist who painted each of the photos we took before according to the current position of the camera. As a result the hyperlapse circulates around a three dimensional light painting. We felt like painting a hologram, so we called it a holopainting.
This is our graduation project for our university.
Thanks to the University of Applied Science St. Pölten (http://fhstp.ac.at) for supporting this project.
Thanks to our client HOERBIGER (http://hoerbiger.com) for letting us use one of their old facilities to do the holopainting.
Thanks to the FFG which sponsored the Raspberry Pis, Webcams and wires to build the 3D-Scanner.
