In this recitation, we utilized knowledge gained from the previous week to alter an image, video, or live video from the computer’s webcam. I chose to use an image, of a tree in Costa Rica with beautiful natural pink flowers. 
I used part of the code we used in the class before that changes the size and orientation of the pixels as the mouse moves around the image, but I used potentiometers as inputs instead of mouseX and mouseY. To be completely honest, I did not have a particular goal in mind, but I played with the size values and distance values and had some interesting results.
This was one of the more successful attempts (in the sense that I could understand what I was doing), but as I replaced different variables to see what effects would concur, the image manipulation got a little crazy:
I took a look at “Computer Vision for Artist and Designers,” but it appears to me that the technology the author focuses on is mostly a computer’s ability to recognize the movement of a human and interact with that movement in some way. I used an image for the object of manipulation, which does not use the same technology in the reading. However, I had the option to activate the webcam and manipulate the live footage. Although a webcam gives the computer the ability to ‘see,’ what we did in the recitation is not the same as the examples in the reading.
