Bacteria and fungi time-lapse 1 (2K) Wim van Eck 2017-04-07 | These high-res time-lapse recordings of growing bacteria and fungi are fortuitous by-products of our 'Evolving Game Terrains' research project which questioned if real-time growth of bacteria and fungi can be used to generate real-time game environments. To aquire suitable high-res imagery for the project I came up with a novel method to capture the growth of the bacteria and fungi. The resulting imagery turned out to be of such great quality I decided to post them here as time-lapse videos.We grew the organisms on Petri-dishes filled with home-made black agar, placed upside down on a consumer flatbed scanner. They are 2560x1440 pixel crops from 1200dpi scans with minimal color correction. The scans were made with a 5 minute interval and rendered at 30fps, resulting in 1 second of playback for 2,5 hours of scanning.More info on the aforementioned 'Evolving Game Terrains' project which I conducted as a PhD candidate at the Media Technology Research Group (Leiden University) together with Maarten H.

Evolving Game Terrains through Living Organisms (video 1) Wim van Eck 2017-04-15 | Growth of fungi and bacteria captured using a flatbed scanner. These captures are used used to generate an evolving game terrain in real-time. By visually capturing growing cultures inside a Petri-dish, heightmaps are generated that form the basis of naturally evolving terrains. These video's accompany the article 'Biological Content Generation: Evolving Game Terrains through Living Organisms' by Wim van Eck and Maarten H.

Trees as time capsules: extending Airborne Museum Hartenstein to the forest Wim van Eck 2014-03-03 | Battlefield museum "Airborne Museum Hartenstein" is housed in a villa which served as the head-quarters of the Allied Forces during World War II. Since heavy fighting took place in the surrounding forest, many of its trees have bullets hidden inside them. We propose an augmented reality (AR) application which superimposes X-rays of the trees upon their trunk, revealing their hidden content. Our approach suggests that augmented reality, when deployed as a means to visualize what is inaccessible to human vision, can be relevant to cultural heritage applications. At ISEA2013 we (The AR Lab) presented a working prototype of our application.More information about this project: http://www.wimeck.com/portfolio-items/trees-as-time-capsules
