How to Captury

  • Start computer on the right
  • Login “Captury live” password “weimar”
  • Start console
  • Enter command -> captury
  • If the cameras are not shown, take a look at the router on the right in the back space, maybe it is unplugged; it will take a couple of minutes to start the webcams
  • After captury starts, take a look at the top right corner — if background is set to bad,- calibrate by clicking the button. If all is good, let someone go into the playground, drag and drop “<new>” above the figure on the webcams. If after draging and dropping no avatar appears, captury doesn’t detect figure. Maybe you are dressed black?
  • Open Sound Control tab/panel (top left)
  • From another computer open pd patch, connect to the captury station IP, port 1065 and send a “subscribe” message to the station. Path within the send message should look like:

[send /subscribe/yourname/blender/Root/vector( where “yourname” is your tracked avatar or * everything

  • As soon as the connection is established, by default it runs 30s. The time could be changed in the settings
  • Routed is the vector data XYZ
