I want to explore motion capture using a Kinect 2 which has arrived in the mail today. I have found a video by an artists called Billy Bailey who uses the kinects built in sensors that create textures to track the human body and it's movements, using MaxMSP he transforms the body into a musical instrument. Could be an interesting direction to bring the project

First attempt at building a colour tracking patch. It works surprisingly well considering the lack of contrast in the video. I am unsure on how i can implement sound into this patch however or have the tracker trigger random sounds/noises

An illustrated representation of the placement and movement of the figures. "Once inside the square, they are condemned to monotonously and synchronously pace the respectively six steps of the lengthwise and diagonal lines it contains, in part accompanied by varying drumbeat rhythms. The mathematical precision and choreography is made possible by the exactness of the timing. Choreographic variation is confined to the number of performers, and the resultant changes in colour constellations." "Rudolf Frieling"
