Polargraph portraits
For the 2016 Interactive Show at NYCR, I collaborated with Kyle McDonald to turn my Polargraph plotter into a portrait sketching robot.
Code
The code is based on github.com/kylemcdonald/BlindSelfPortrait
, plus github.com/osresearch/polargraph
. The Open Frameworks / OpenCV portion attempts to find interesting lines, then generates the line segments for the polargraph code, which generates G-code and sends it to the steppers.
Highlights
Some highlights from the party were:
Becky Stern and her hat.
Giant Eye with a big thumbs-up.
Portraits
You can see all the photos from the show. Thanks to everyone for posing with their portraits!
