These guys know exactly what buttons of mine they need to push to exactly make me like them over and over again... 370MB of CSV point data, Processing code, and a 3D viewer of Thom Yorke's face RA DIOHEA_D / HOU SE OF_C ARDS @ Google Code via Waxy.
Radiohead just released a new video for its song "House of Cards" from the album "In Rainbows".No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.
Watch the making-of video to learn about how the video was made and the various technologies that were used to capture and render 3D data.
If you manage to create a data visualization that you'd wish to share, the band would love to see it. You can share your videos on the House of Cards YouTube group.
