Processing is fun
I’m currently attending a course called “Animation programming with Processing”. It’s a blended-learning course lectured at my university. I heard about processing before but never looked at it closely. Processing is a simple programming language build on top of Java and comes with its own, simple IDE. It includes some basic functionality and can be extended with a variety of libraries (Audio, Video, 3D, Network, ...).
It’s amazing how easy it is to write stunning animations with very little lines of code. Combined with a simple webcam and a projector you’ll get cool interactive installations:

Check out the exhibition at processing.org too!
Maybe I’ll upload some of my own sketches during the next weeks.
