I'm curious, do these teams work full-time on interactive art installations? Or does everyone have a day job in a related field (ie. programming, 3d art), occasionally coming together to pull off a project for personal interest.

I love this piece and would like to see more of it. I envision it on the Main Library, downtown Los Angeles, 2010. Any other info on optimal conditions or just specifics which helped or deterred from realizing this work?

@kyle, oh snaps -- I forgot that we got it up on the mac. I personally wouldn't read too much into the performance difference. there just wasn't much time to debug it (ie, to figure out what was slower, using the FBO, the CV stuff, etc)...

@cnek + @zach, we did finally get two equivalent graphics cards working on both platforms (Nvidia GTX 285, one Mac and one PC versions), and there was one anomaly we never fully resolved: the Nvidia demos ran faster on the Mac than the PC, but the OF app itself, running across six screens, ran at about 1/3rd the fps on the Mac compared to the PC. It made me think that multi-screen applications generally run slower on Macs, but this might just be an isolated incident.

@cnek, the switch to windows was based on getting the wrong graphics card (a card we thought would work on a mac pro, but that had the power connections for windows machine). The kind of mistakes happen last minute - when you are grabbing equipment and running to catch a flight. Our client cancelled then uncanceled, which meant a very hectic deadline and not alot of breathing room for equipment decisions. We had initially planed on running off of macs, but in a pinch, getting a souped up PC that could take the card proved alot easier to do in NZ then getting a souped up mac. Fortunately, since it was written in OF we could easily recompile it for PC, and it wasn't too much of a setback.
