Motion to sound // Aliya Sayfart

idea:

The aim of the project is to play sounds by moving the body. I would like to use 3 webcams that run under different tracking systems.The movement is recorded in max msp and converted into numbers. This numbers are converted into the sounds or they activate the sounds.

Here is a little insight from outside.

First step is to look how to get three webcams in max to run in the same time. There for I used the the jit.qt.grab or jit.dx.grab (Windows) and see whether I can have three of these objects running simultaneously for the three different inputs.

So now we come to the point where I start to play around with different opurtunities for tracking.

Face tracking: run with Face OSC

- There for I need to install Face Osc and connect it to max with the object: udprecive 8338 the number is the ip of face osc you can change if like. Then you need the object OSC-route/… after you can say that you wonna route the mouth or the left eyebrow. If something in the route area will change it gets a bang wich activate the sound.
