The main theme of the future tech was based on having seen this video about diminished reality (which we did not get to show on the show)<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"320\" height=\"195\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FgTq-AgYlTE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nIt struck me that the best way to show this in action, and to explain the complexity of it was to use Photoshop CS5. The full version of photoshop has an amazing content aware fill. This is used to automatically replace something in a picture by calculating what is likely to be behind that object. There have been ways to do this in photoshop manually but it is the simplicity of the process that I found interesting.<br \/>\nI took a photo of monkey by a patterned wall.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/epredator\/5417546761\/\" title=\"monkey banana by epredator, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5098\/5417546761_a113e078ac.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"monkey banana\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn photoshop (live in realtime) I magic wand selected the bright yellow banana and then did a content aware fill and this happened.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/epredator\/5444722686\/\" title=\"monkeywithoutbanana by epredator, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4073\/5444722686_8a694b8280.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"monkeywithoutbanana\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nNow this was 3 clicks and almost instant. It is not perfect, there is still a little outline of the banana and the wall is a little wonky, but it is amazing!<br \/>\nFor a joke I then highlighted monkey (I already had selected most of him but not precisely as this was a quick take \ud83d\ude42 )<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/epredator\/5444722310\/\" title=\"nomonkey by epredator, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5213\/5444722310_a71b3424c3.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"nomonkey\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis again is not perfect but as a proof of what it does it is ideal. I also like the predator like image we generated.<br \/>\nPart of the piece I also got Sy to look at Wordlens on the iphone. This replaces words that it sees via the camera with other words. Translations, reversals, removals etc. It is a mix of augmented and diminished reality.<br \/>\nYes I did do some other things in the show, yes I did put some sports kit on and play Mario Sports against monkey and yes he did beat me at basketball. (My gaming cred is now reset to zero but I will have my revenge Monkey!).<br \/>\nThat will be going into the series 2 showreel I am sure \ud83d\ude42 checkout<a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedingedge.co.uk\/blog\/2011\/02\/11\/my-series-1-tv-showreel\/\"> showreel one though<\/a> \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.feedingedge.co.uk%2Fblog%2F2011%2F02%2F14%2Fdiminished-reality-s2ep3%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div name=\"googleone_share_1\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;\"><g:plusone size=\"tall\" count=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.feedingedge.co.uk\/blog\/2011\/02\/14\/diminished-reality-s2ep3\/\"><\/g:plusone><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current Cool Stuff Collective running this week I got to show a few things.
