hello.

Golan Levin gives a nice introduction to computer vision in this essay, including a little history of the use of CV in art, and examples of some of the tools and problems involved. For anyone beginning to look into computer vision from a non-engineering perspective, Computer Vision for Artists and Designers: Pedagogic Tools and Techniques for Novice Programmers is a good place to start.

IOBrush is a paintbrush that allows you to paint with video. It captures video in one mode, and paints the video back on the screen in another. It’s similar to Danny Rozin’s Easel. Unlike the easel, however, it’s possible to use the IObrush to paint with still captures or recorded video, so that its “paint” can have behaviors. There’s a good video of it in use on the site as well.
