Experiments
Using a hacked web-cam I experimented using IR camera.
There is some quality issues with the hacked camera. I think a higher resolution camera would have better results. See the left image vs my hacked web camera on the right.

Pipeline Updates:
- Researched IR and thermal cameras but still not sure which camera is best suited given time, money and tech specs. Miguel is meeting with the MIT PI from Camera Culture tomorrow to get a better sense of the best camera for our needs.
- I need to do some stitching together of code to get all the video distortions complete
- I need to use GPU particles systems rather than CPU systems to get the "edges" of the video mesh to "speak" to the particles
