Professor Horton,

I was wondering if you could send out a notification to the CS Ugrads
and professors about our interactive media demo tomorrow.  It's open
to anyone, there will be free food and drinks.  We created software to
control audio playback and audio effects in real time using the
Nintendo wiimote and motion tracking using webcams.

Thanks,
Curtis

Here's our blurb about the event:

_____________________

We're inviting anyone that's interested to check out our unique music
control and composition software on Wednesday May 2nd, at noon.  We
were  inspired to create an audio player controlled by human motion,
like a conductor with an orchestra.  We achieved this by hacking a
Nintendo wiimote and doing motion capture with a webcam, allowing you
to control music (e.g. audio effects, volume, and tempo) by moving in
front of the webcam or by waving the wiimote around.  We'll give a
demonstration of our software, talk about its design and
implementation, answer questions, and let anybody attending play
around and control music.  Pizza and drinks will be provided towards
the end of our talk.  The presentation should be around 20 minutes
long, and after that people can eat, control some music, and ask questions.

Here is a brief clip of our software, so you can get a better idea of
what we're trying to accomplish.

The following is a message I have been asked to distribute.
Dear Professor Cohoon,

I was once one of your advisees in the CS department before I switched to a financial math major.  I am now about to graduate and work for a company called Investure, where I will be a financial analyst.  I had been working as an intern for a while, and during that time I used a lot of my computer science skills to help automate some of the processes that are used in the company.  I know it is a little late in the year, but Investure is looking for another intern who is interested in finance and has a strong background in computer science.  The position would be full time over the summer, potentially carrying into the next school year.  Could you please circulate this email to the CS mailing list?  Anyone interested can send me an email with their resume attached and I'll be in touch with them.  I hope the end of the semester goes well for you!


Thanks,

Tom Stack
