Very little at the minute, have done a bit in Processing previously, very much at novice level

what would you like to do with openframeworks?
Its to be the focus of my final project where I am researching AV instruments and interfacing, combined with realtime generative visuals. Also very interested in 3D Stereo Visuals, have a basic Processing realtime engine which I really want to port to oF and push in new directions.

what are you doing with openframeworks?
When I attended the opening ceremony of the european cultural capital 2010 which is my city this year I saw all those cool creative installations. I was doing photography over the last years and coding here and there. I had been doing some 2D Design stuff some years ago and did not have the time recently to work in this field and now I discovered openframeworks.
I have small programming experience but never coded with a OOP-Languae.
The start in OF was a little hard but after reading lots and lots of code I found a good start.

The first project I am coding now is an installation I am doing for a project associated with ruhr 2010 where young people show culture.

what would you like to do with openframeworks?

Being creative and pushing my personal borders further and further, meeting cool people and having fun.

Working in exhibit design the past few years, mostly physical computing and screen-based interactives. Also a musician and artist.

what are you doing with openframeworks?
Been a longtime user of processing, for its ability to rapid prototype. Been loving the speed of oF for processor-heavy projects and those needing reliable video scrubbing/manipulation.

what would you like to do with openframeworks?
Enjoying the possibilities of oF on the iphone. Interested in how those possibilities could connect with that of the iPad as well. Loving the community here!
