1st stage of the Installation: Setting up the booth



New prototype design.

I did some modifications to the original design because there was an unexpected reflection of the projectors bulb when it was executed. This is the new design.

Scripting for Whitecap

These are the scripting that I have edited to suit my holographic display installation preference. They were edited directly from whitecap's boot file.

I have reduced the opacity of the background so that it would just stay black.:

// WhiteCap specific prefs...
SetPref( "WaveShape.Transition.Duration", 14 );

SetPref( "Background.Opacity", 0.0 );
SetPref( "Background.Transition.Duration", 5 );

SetPref( "ColorScheme.Transition.Duration", 10 );

Scripting for whitecap in windows media player:

#elif WMP || WMC
SetPref( PREF_FFT_FADE_AWAY, .3 );
SetPref( PREF_FFT_SMOOTH, .007 );
SetPref( PREF_FFT_BIN_START, 24 );
SetPref( PREF_FFT_BIN_RANGE, 2 );
SetPref( PREF_FFT_FADE_AWAY, .5 );
//SetPref( PREF_FFT_MAP_FCN, "2.4 * atan( ( .0045 * (pos(x-85) + .2 * x ) )^1.5)" );
//SetPref( PREF_FFT_MAP_FCN, ".7 * atan( ( .019 * pos( x - 40 ) + .003 * pos( x - 20 ) ) )" ); // 4.6.1
SetPref( PREF_FFT_MAP_FCN, "1.4 * atan( .017 * pos( x - 36 ) + .003 * pos( x - 27 ) )" );
