Python 3D Graphics Tutorial 5: Bouncing Ball Simulation in Visual Python

The program below is the code we developed in Lesson 5. It is a Vpython program that creates a 3D model of a marble bouncing in a box.

 

Python 3D Graphics LESSON 4: Understanding 3D Motion in Visual Python Model

In this lesson we show how to make an animated ball properly bounce off a wall using Visual Python (Vpython).

 

Python 3D Graphics LESSON 3: Parameterizing your 3D Model

In this lesson we show you the importance of building a parameterized model for your 3D graphics in Python using Visual Python. You can manage large scenes unless you are doing it with parameterized dimensions. The video above takes you through it step by step. Here is the code for the parameterized box and marble we developed in Lesson 3:

 

Launch a Windows WEB Camera in Ten Lines of Code with OpenCV

In this lesson we show you step-by-step how to launch a WEB camera using OpenCV running on windows. In the video we show how to install OpenCV and how to write your first simple programs. Below is the code we developed in the video to launch the WEB cam.

 

Jetson Xavier NX Lesson 12: Intelligent Scanning for Objects of Interest

In this Video Tutorial we show how a camera on a pan/tilt control system can be programmed to search for an object of interest, and then track it when found.  Our system has two independent camera systems, and each can track a separate item of interest independently. The code is written in python, using the OpenCV library. The video takes you through the lesson step-by-step, and then the code is included below for your convenience.

If you want to play along at home, we are using the Jetson Xavier NX, which you can pick up HERE. You will also need to of the bracket/servo kits, which you can get HERE, and then two Raspberry Pi Version two cameras, available HERE.
