And I just checked today's email and found that there's a roadshow on round the corner......projection mapping kit, media servers, all that sort of mental entertainment tech. I might pop in for an hour. Hopefully there will be free beer.
Oooh!I want to projection map my living room wall, using a webcam in the garden as a source, so I can see outside. See if you can pick me up some freebies...
I got all excited about it when I saw Roger Waters doing The Wall, but I understand the kit is getting massively cheaper now.

Er.... not exactly cheap.Why do you need to map if it's just onto a wall?
My favourite projection mapping server is about £20k.
My favourite projection mapping server is about £20k.
I want to cut out the furniture, TVand other bits and bobs, and I'd like to tuck the projector away at a bizarre angle, so I need crazy keystone adjustment stuff.
It's totally not worthwhile, and will never happen, but I thought it'd be cool if it went totally edge to edge, like the wall was glass or something.
It's reminiscent of a project I did over a decade ago at the Bartlett.

I can do that... but it'll be a 20K box plus the projector(s)...Just for laughs... how big's the wall?
Did you see any of Eurovision (don't laugh... I watch a bit every year for technical interest)? My mate is the technical director - this was his 11th time. He is in charge of light, sound, staging, on-stage video, rigging, automation and pyros. This year the big video surface at the back of the stage was projected rather than LED wall... mapped onto a complicated folded shape with motorised moving bits. They used the brightest projector you can buy... a Barco unit at 120,000 euros a pop.
They had 28 of those, all edge-blended to pixel-perfection. Another 34 projectors in the auditorium, green room and press room. A dozen HD media servers to run it all. . Oh, and 850 moving lights. And a load of other shit. There was 3.5km of trussing in the rig this year... the whole flown rig was 160 tons, never mind what was supported from the floor... 50km of power cabling, 40km of data cabling... 5Mw of generators out in the car park...
fucking nutters.

I think that might be overkill.My wall is about 4m long, by maybe 2.2m high.
how far back could you get a projector??
Theroetically about 4m,but ideally I'd tuck one either on top of the bookshelf or beside the chimney breast so that it's off to the extreme left or right, maybe 2m away, at ceiling level.
is that 5Mw figure real or just a guess?that's crazy
actually... since none of these things move around and you're just masking......rather than dealing with projection surfaces in multiple planes...
You could use a projector with keystoning (not that big a deal these days), and create the mask live in photoshop in full-screen mode. Then you could get a Raspberry Pi, a webcam, and some opensource code to impose the mask on the webcam feed in real time. Shouldn't be that hard...

although if you need more than one projector to cover the wall......then life gets interesting.
I was looking at VPT 6.0http://hcgilje.wordpre...
Which is free, and would presumably run on a PC of some description, and looks like it would map two projectors together fairly easily.
I quickly realised I didn't know what I'm doing, don't have any projectors, no webcam, and no immediately spare PC to run it all, and it was silly.
I'm thus sticking with my current config nightmare, which is channel mapping for freeview and freesat into my new XBMC setup.
Channel mapping was a nightmare on windows media centre when EPG info was integrated, but when you've got to use a scraper to steal it from the radio times website it becomes much more tricky.
Radio Times calls it BBC3, but the freeview channel ID is actually BBC THREE, for example, so it has to be mapped manually.
Then you've got to tell it that freeview channel X is the same as freesat channel Y, so that it can always find a free tuner to record with.
Then you've got to somehow tell it that channels X, Y and Z are HD, and thus to prioritise those over the SD equivalents.
Lastly, I want it to always prioritise freeview over freesat as it's marginally less subject to extreme weather, and to me it's got slightly nicer colour, and seems more reliably to deliver 5.1 audio.

YepIt does some cool stuff but the syntax is awful and certain things that should be in the GUI (like changing a solid line on a chart to a dotted one) are done in code.
The set array to do an exclusion filter is awful, why isn't it just a switch rather than having to wrap an IF round an ISNULL?

Busy working. That mouse is great, but minesweeper gets confused between left and right buttons which is a little problematic. Well, it's problematic if I'm playing minesweeper, whcih I shouldn't be.
It takes a few days (I found)to get into the habit of making sure the other finger, whichever it is, is not touching the surface, otherwise it can't tell which finger you pressed the button with.
That's another issue if you're an old school CAD monkey like me, where the right button repeats the last command, or duplicates the ENTER key during a command.

Ah, of course.That may explain why I can't click both at once too.
Yup yup.I don't see why they couldn't just make it two buttons to be honest.
Maybe that doubles the touch surface cost.

And worst offences of them all:look like windows 8.
did you watch the reveal?it lasted an hour, and they didn't even mention games until 30 minutes in. And today's PR firefighting includes references to Office 365.
Basically it's a continuation of the Windows 8 debacle - every MS department has got stuck in to 'diversifying' the platform, so the end result is what may well be a good gaming machine, but is so covered in shovelware that nobody wants or asked for, that they've clearly forgotten it's meant to be a
games console.

my mateused to be head of european PR for xbox, I'll ask him tonight what he thought.
market wideningi guess the market for the "hardcore" gamers isnt wide enough. The presentation could have been better but i can see what they were trying to do and how it could drag more users into the environment
I imagine there's only so much cash in people who want to play Call of Duty 8there is a lot more money in people that like the idea of having a thing that let's them play the occasional game, but also plays DVDs and goes on the internet and all that stuff, from the comfort of their sofa.
There's loads of cash in hardcore gamers.I went to Scan's shop, they had some awesome gaming rigs set up. A decent gaming rig will have a series of components each costing more than an xbox.
but that cashgoes on hardware not specifically games. You couldnt have a console the same price as a good gaming PC and still have it sell with the same profile as is needed for a console type business model.
thus why DLC has become so "popular", that there is more of a steady income stream beyond the first big bang of a months sales where it drops off as people buy secondhand games. Which neatly brings us back to the position "we" can see xbox/consoles going.
1) expanding its use further into homes so none gamers could pick it up and strike at "smart TVs", freeview, small device lounge streaming or indeed PCs out of lounge
2) extending the trail of income beyond the big bang with licensed games (cash from 2nd hand tackle) and more DLC
3) integration with web side stuff so subs can be setup for fantasy teams and content provider content that can either be provided by MS or bought in.
and of course all your netflix, home media streaming and social media integration

So, you mean a PC with a TV out?...
Well that's what an xbox is anyway, right?If you know a good OS or UI overlay for a PC that enables "laid back" operation of all of the above from a remote control and isn't a complete and utter nightmare, then please, for God's sake, tell me.
Also, ideally, control of DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 tuners.

I don't believe XBMC supports TV tuners.I use Windows Media Centre at present, as it's the only thing I've found that does a "one box" solution, but MS have given up on it, as, quite rightly, there is no money in something which enables people to record and watch their own TV, and allows the viewing of any sort of file without any DRM.
I've considered MythTV, but by all descriptions it's an utter ballache to get to work.
edit: it looks as if XBMC might now have TV tuner support. Interesting.

your average man about touwnisn't going to be able to buy a computer box (let alone a Pi), set it up and plug it in. They can spend £300 on a machine that does it all though.
I wasn't suggesting they didmore that if you want clever telly, spending a wodge on a gaming console (I really want to reiterate those XBox Live fees) is totally unnecessary, and if this really was a big potential market then someone could come in and provide a £100 off-the-shelf solution for the average man

or an internet-ready TVwhich are pretty common now
yeahsaw quite a few comments that the non-gaming stuff is almost all done, already, by smart TVs. And Smart TVs are rapidly becoming "all new TVs". There's actually a good arguement right there that a plug-in console for the next generation should therefore be a stripped back, gaming focused, device- why duplicate the functions of the TV you plug it into?
Have you used a smart TV?If not, then go and use one, and you'll understand why there's a market for the non-gaming functions of the xbox or a Roku.

No I didn't.I'm pretty sure we all felt the same about the ps3. It did all that fancy non-gaming stuff that we thought we'd never want on a games console and it did rather well.
Similarly, the PS4 has the same legacy game limitation.Do you reckon it's possible that they think they've got gaming nailed, and just adding better graphics and power is expected, and thus they need to do something else.
Also, I always try and keep a part of my mind open to the possibility that these companies might have a better idea of how to develop the games console market than I do.
I mean, if there were lots of people thought Microsoft was being run by swivel eyed loons when they decided to build a console in the first place, right?

The legacy limitation isn't new.Not all xbox games run on the 360, and (IIRC) only early ps3s play ps2 games.
I also don't think it's particularly trying to add value or find the unique selling point. I think they know the market and actually, most people want a box that'll do all sorts and not just game. My ps3 gets used almost exclusively for iplayer these days, with gaming and blu-ray secondary.
