Here’s a cool way to waste a little time waiting for the work day to end, it’s called Yellowtail. I’m not sure why because its not yellow and I don’t see a tail. Anyhow, it is really cool when you see it in motion…just start scribbling and see what happens.

Yellowtail is an interactive software system for the gestural creation and performance of real-time abstract animation. Yellowtail repeats a user's strokes end-over-end, enabling simultaneous specification of a line's shape and quality of movement. Each line repeats according to its own period, producing an ever-changing and responsive display of lively, worm-like textures.

Cool, wish I had a touchscreen

hmm, the person who made this should apply some of the techniques to those piece of sh*t digital signature pads in retail stores, UPS/FEDEX, etc. I don't mean the "end-over-end" repetition part, but how it's able to add life like fluidity and character to scibbles.

While I don't know for sure, I think it's the physical inability of the pads themselves to sense touch to that level of detail. Not that the technology's not there, it's just not fiscally viable for those companies yet.

And Kyle -- that [H] must have taken some practice!
 
damn...I guess I don't have java installed on my work pc...no way im gona get fired for installing something...oh well next time...
 
Hehe, my own personal ouroboros. Shape it into an infinity symbol and then watch it chase it's own tail for, uhm, infinity.
 
While it sounds cool, I always take announcements like this with a huge grain of salt. How many times have you played with an exciting new toy, and then for some reason or another, get bored with it the very next day?
 
I drew a gun, i was waiting for my coworkers to see it and say something...
 
it's easy to draw little bugs/worms that squirm around.. the faster you draw, the faster they go!
 
If only one could be banned for being mentally retarded and annoying.
 
Haha, wow, that's...uh...that was made by my professor. He's teaching Electronic Media Studio at CMU this semester.

...Now I'll have to ask him why it's called Yellowtail. =P
