Pisa was a success. At least, it was on the software side; not so much on the hardware's. The first game, my colleague took pictures with his camera, and everything went allright - the reconstruction was completed in a matter of few minutes. The second game, I also took pictures with my camera, but one of the players kept bumping the table and even my tripod, creating so many errors it required about twenty minutes to complete the reconstruction - we'll discard this game. The third game, we recorded a video with an Ipad mounted on a tripod: everything went right and we'll proceed with the reconstruction as soon as we'll have enough frames extracted. The fourth game, we tried a new program, PhotoClock, capable of taking a picture each time one of the players pressed the keyboard (it worked as a clock): that proved uneffective, as the players' arms were present in each picture (the contrary of what we hoped), and we'll have to try again with a pair of mouses instead. In the whole, we're very satisfied. The paper will be ready at the end of the week, but without a LaTeX template or at least the number of chars per page we won't be able to redact it. We hope the problem will be solved soon! mr.
