Thinks

This Digital Graffiti Wall from Canadian-based Tangible Interaction provides stencils which is a neat idea. They were commissioned to produce one for the 2010 Olympic Winter Village. It’s written in C++ using openFrameworks, a framework library for creative experimentation (maybe a little like processing?).

On the Talk Talk site users generate their own light-writing art at home using a web camera. The best are used for X-factor ad idents. Light-writing is cool and you can try out the app for yourself but I think the best results are when you do it for real. All you need is a digital camera with long exposure and the CHDK unlocks this feature in most Canons. And some lights.

AirPainter leaves AR graffiti in the real world (geoPaste is another). What these are currently lacking is any sort of natural feature tracking to really lock the graffiti onto the real world. (via gamesalfresco).

Graffiti Reseach Lab’s L.A.S.E.R. Tag uses a projector, web cam, laser pointer and processing to graffiti in light on public buildings. Check out the Make: tutorial video if you want to do it for yourself.

WiiSpray by Bauhaus University student Martin Lihs uses a hacked Wii Remote in a spray can and a flash app running on an ibook (possibly using darwiin-remote) to let you spray virtual graffiti.

Sounds like there were plans to make this into a real controller but, as SlashGear point out, it would be more cost effective to make a spray can holder for a Wii remote.(Original lead from kwarme.)

Jesus 2.0 is an oldie but definately a goldie from Mark Jenkins and the Graffiti Research Lab (GRL). A coming together of LED Throwies and Tape Scultpures. Click the black image above to start the video.
