Scare Makers

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Scare Makers

Home: California, United States

Our exhibit is a unique collection of home brewed radio controlled/roving/animatronic props, compressed air driven contraptions and 3D video displays all with a Halloween theme. We present these props and displays in an interactive fashion, with the goal of providing all Faire goers young and old with an entertaining, hands-on and educational experience. As in our prior Maker Faire showings, we hope to educate Faire attendees about our builds and how they might create their own versions. We allow them to use hand held R/C units to control the multiple props themselves, providing an immersive, enjoyable (and sometimes scary) experience.

tscann16: A 5k 16mm film scanner

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Catilya

Home: California, United States

tscann16 is a home-brew high quality film scanner. It uses stepper motors to move optical film like a cassette tape player would, and takes hi res photos of each frame with a macro lens on a DSLR, which is controlled with computer vision running on a Raspberry Pi5. It yields a 5k scan of 16mm film, or 4k scan of 8mm film, and can handle damaged film, warped film, film with damaged or misshapen sprockets, delicate films, and handmade films. Tscann16 offers an alternative to lower quality flickering telecine scans, poor quality consumer scanners with cheap lenses and sensors, and unattainably expensive vintage commercial scanners. Tscann16 duplicates can be built at low cost, given a lens and a DSLR. Most parts are 3D printed, and stepper motors from a 3D printer drive the film.

Practical AI for Makers

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Sridhar Rajagopal

Home: California, United States

AI is the current buzz word, with deep learning and other models now capable of being run on Edge Devices, aside from the Cloud. As Makers, how can we take advantage of this burgeoning field to incorporate cool new functionality into the things we make? For the beginner, this can be a very daunting field. In this presentation, we'll take a 30,000 foot view of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, especially as it pertains to Edge AI (translation-we won't get bogged down by nitty-gritty now!). We will look at the various practical applications they can be used for, the various tools and frameworks that are available to utilize, and practical considerations of how to build and deploy a robust (not toy!) model that can run on your Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other suitable MCUs/SBCs.

Nifty's

Faire: Providence

Maker: Nifty's Museum

Home: Massachusetts, United States

Yolo Maker Guys with robotics, 3d printing, clocks, kinetic art, lights, pachinko and more

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Yolo Maker Guys

Home: California, United States

We are some creators from Yolo County and bring a wide variety of projects and interests to share. Dave's Copperbot is a robotics project that evolved into kinetic art with large vacuum tubes, hundreds of LEDs, cameras, sensors, stereo sound, a cup holder and flapping wings. The Explorer is a life size humanoid found art sculpture. Doug's original clock creations bring together 3D printing and cool neon lighting to mark time with beauty and whimsy. We have a 70s era Japanese pachinko machine, enhanced with an Arduino and new colored LED lighting. We enjoy working with many materials - wood, metal, plastics, wire, and learning how to step up our crafts.

Try AI with Raspberry Pi

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Raspberry Pi

Home: Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

Come meet the Raspberry Pi team and experiment with the new Raspberry Pi AI kit. Installed on a Raspberry Pi 5, the AI Kit allows you to rapidly build complex AI vision applications, running in real time, with low latency and low power requirements. State-of-the-art neural networks for object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and facial landmarking (to name just a few) run entirely on the Hailo-8L co-processor, leaving the Raspberry Pi 5 CPU free to perform other tasks.

ETIPADO: Extremely Tall Image Processing And Display Object

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Grant Patterson

Home: California, United States

ETIPADO: Extremely Tall Image Processing And Display Object is a startling demonstration of the persistence-of-vision effect: Shake your head "no" at a strobing column of light and images appear out of nowhere. Interact with the work by making faces in the work's camera, while friends see you in the strip of LEDs in real time. What's happening? The LEDs display vertical slices of images in fast succession. As your eye moves across the piece, the two-dimensional image “burns” into your retina, one column at a time. Sophisticated processing software takes real-time imagery from the attached digital camera and broadcasts them to the LEDs. ETIPADO is unexpected art: It’s easy to walk by and not notice it. Once discovered, participants are inspired to share the “secret” with those around them.
