E&#8217; stata una bellissima manifestazione in cui i ragazzi dell&#8217;organizzazione si sono spesi senza sosta, con grande gentilezza e professionalit\u00e0, nonostante le poche risorse, ma con grandi risorse umane. Il risultato \u00e8 stata una bella opportunit\u00e0 per la citt\u00e0 di venire a contatto con vari aspetti interessanti legati alle tecnologie che usiamo quotidianamente.<br \/>\nOvviamente la manifestazione era incentrata esclusivamente sul mondo dello open source, sia software che hardware. Inoltre nelle tre serate si \u00e8 svolto, in allegato, lo <a href=\"http:\/\/open.ternifestival.it\/concerti.html\">Open Terni Music<\/a>, durante il quale si sono esibiti gruppi che condividono la loro musica sotto licenza Creative Commons, con la collaborazione della radio italiana <a href=\"http:\/\/www.resetradio.net\/\">Reset Radio<\/a>, la prima  a trasmettere esclusivamente musica Creative Commons in Europa.<\/p>\n<p>Nel programmare il nostro contributo alla manifestazione abbiamo pensato al <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tagtool.org\/\">TagTool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Il Tagtool \u00e8 uno strumento per performance visuali che pu\u00f2 essere utilizzato da un palco o in strada. Serve come strumento per VJ, come videogioco creativo, ed \u00e8 anche un modo intuitivo per creare animazioni.<br \/>\nIl sistema \u00e8 gestito in collaborazione da un artista disegnatore delle immagini e da un animatore che aggiunge movimento al disegno con un gamepad.<br \/>\nIl risultato pu\u00f2 essere illimitatamente complesso da un punto di vista artistico, ma attraverso l&#8217;uso di una serie di semplici controlli.<br \/>\nIl progetto \u00e8 coordinato da <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oma-international.com\/\">OMA International<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In pratica il disegnatore esegue un disegno attraverso la tavoletta grafica, durante il quale pu\u00f2 cambiare alcuni parametri attraverso gli slide del TagTool: colore del tratto, saturazione (bianco), luminosit\u00e0 (nero), trasparenza e spessore del tratto, mentre l&#8217;ultimo slide serve a mandare in dissolvenza (quando non \u00e8 presente un animatore).<br \/>\nQuando il disegnatore ha finito, rilascia il disegno attraverso il pulsante che si trova sul TagTool cosicch\u00e9 l&#8217;animatore, tramite il gamepad, possa appunto animarlo. L&#8217;animatore pu\u00f2 ruotare, scalare, spostare, mandare in dissolvenza, ecc. il disegno, mentre il disegnatore pu\u00f2, nel frattempo, disegnare un altro &#8220;tag&#8221;. I tag rilasciati vanno su diversi livelli, ai quali l&#8217;animatore pu\u00f2 accedere tramite il gamepad.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-EeK3WAXB6Pg\/Tq06Y2fRjVI\/AAAAAAAAArc\/Ct9cwsgZoC4\/s1600\/tagtool.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"166\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-EeK3WAXB6Pg\/Tq06Y2fRjVI\/AAAAAAAAArc\/Ct9cwsgZoC4\/s400\/tagtool.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Per il TagTool Mini, i componenti del sistema sono:<br \/>\n6 potenziometri slide<br \/>\n1 pulsante<br \/>\n1 Arduino<\/p>\n<p>una tavoletta grafica (non vanno bene tutte, a noi ha funzionato con una Wacom &#8220;Bamboo&#8221;)<br \/>\nun gamepad USB<br \/>\nun videoproiettore (opzionale)<br \/>\nIl circuito da costruire \u00e8 veramente molto semplice:<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-DQKgCBPche0\/Tq06YUzfcRI\/AAAAAAAAArY\/__7ViPHZB0o\/s1600\/schema.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-DQKgCBPche0\/Tq06YUzfcRI\/AAAAAAAAArY\/__7ViPHZB0o\/s400\/schema.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-vMO--UnI3vs\/Tq06WbLhmPI\/AAAAAAAAArQ\/GwUZoyp8jTo\/s1600\/fototagtool2.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-vMO--UnI3vs\/Tq06WbLhmPI\/AAAAAAAAArQ\/GwUZoyp8jTo\/s400\/fototagtool2.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Il software necessario per utilizzare il Tagtool si chiama Nodekit e va installato su un pc, attualmente solo per Windows.

It was a wonderful event and the boys of the organization made a big effort in it, with great kindness and professionalism, despite the few economical resources but with great human ones.   The result was a good opportunity for the city to come in contact with several interesting aspects related to the technologies we use everyday.<br \/>\nObviously the event was focused exclusively on the world of open source, software and hardware. Also in the three evenings was held the <a href=\"http:\/\/open.ternifestival.it\/concerti.html\">Open Terni Music<\/a>, during which performed groups that share their music under Creative Commons license, with the collaboration of the Italian radio station <a href=\"http:\/\/www.resetradio.net\/\">Radio Reset<\/a>, the first to broadcast music only Creative Commons in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Planning our contribution to the event we decided for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tagtool.org\/\">TagTool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From the website:<br \/>\n&#8220;The Tagtool is a performative visual instrument used on stage and on the street. It serves as a VJ tool, a creative video game, or an intuitive way of creating animation.<br \/>\nThe system is operated collaboratively by an artist drawing the pictures and an animator adding movement to the artwork with a gamepad. The design achieves virtually unlimited artistic complexity with a simple set of controls.<br \/>\nThe project is coordinated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oma-international.com\/\">OMA International<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><\/div>\n<p>Basically, the designer performs a drawing with a graphics tablet, during which some parameters can be changed through the slides of the TagTool: stroke color, saturation (white), brightness (black), transparency and thickness of the stroke, while the last slide can be used to fade out the drawing (when there is no animator).<br \/>\nWhen the designer has finished the drawing (tag), he releases the button located on TagTool, sending it to the animator who controls it through the gamepad. The animator can rotate, scale, move, fade out, etc. the  design while the designer can, in the meantime, draw another tag. The tags are released on different levels, to which the animator can access via the gamepad.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-EeK3WAXB6Pg\/Tq06Y2fRjVI\/AAAAAAAAArc\/Ct9cwsgZoC4\/s1600\/tagtool.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"168\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-EeK3WAXB6Pg\/Tq06Y2fRjVI\/AAAAAAAAArc\/Ct9cwsgZoC4\/s400\/tagtool.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the Mini TagTool, system components are:<br \/>\n6 slide potentiometers<br \/>\n1 button<br \/>\n1 Arduino<\/p>\n<p>a tablet (not all are good, we worked with a Wacom &#8220;Bamboo&#8221;)<br \/>\na USB gamepad<br \/>\na projector (optional)<\/p>\n<p>The circuit is very easy to build:<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-DQKgCBPche0\/Tq06YUzfcRI\/AAAAAAAAArY\/__7ViPHZB0o\/s1600\/schema.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-DQKgCBPche0\/Tq06YUzfcRI\/AAAAAAAAArY\/__7ViPHZB0o\/s400\/schema.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-vMO--UnI3vs\/Tq06WbLhmPI\/AAAAAAAAArQ\/GwUZoyp8jTo\/s1600\/fototagtool2.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-vMO--UnI3vs\/Tq06WbLhmPI\/AAAAAAAAArQ\/GwUZoyp8jTo\/s400\/fototagtool2.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The software required to use the Tagtool is called Nodekit and must be installed on a PC, currently only for Windows.
