Hi, Hi,

I am currently finishing off a university project. I am
using Pure data to detect motion using a grid with 3 x
coordinates on it. At each point a different movie will be
played. I am also detecting the direction that the movement
is coming from. ideally I have an animation of a dog. The
dog will follow the passerby regardless of their direction.

If you could be of any assistance and could help look over
my patch I would be eternally gratefully. many thanks

Right now, everything is very jittery, is there a way i control this, even if it means only making one direction work, for exaomple, next clip cant play until previous one has finished. Also if i was just doing three clips playing at different places on stage if i could restrict so that 1 would play then only two would play then only 3.

If a way is possible to make the 2 directions smoother that woulod also be great.

Thanks again for putting up with my questions

ok i have done this before but for some reason i cant get it to work! and have searched for a similar patch but no luck.

I have a motion tracker, which when it reaches one it plays a clip

(apologies if i get any of this notation wrong!)

select 1

[0] [0]

one bang

open dog.mov

however i need to add in a delay so that after the movie has started playing it waits 10 seconds until it gets to play again but cant figure out where to put it.

Many thanks,

Sarah

Hi,

I am just finishing off a university project where I am using an isight camera to track people as they walk past a board. As they trigger different points of the motion tracker in my PD patch, different movies will play.

I want to be able to control the direction of the motion and be able to restrict which files can be played after each other to restrict more than one person using it at a time.

I cant quite tell if the direction patch is working...am I missing something

many thanks

Hi, I am currently working on a university project, I am using motion detection to play video. I have this working fine that when different points are triggered different clips play. However. I was wondering if someone new a way I could stipulate the direction that the motion has come from. The idea I have is that if someone walks along the camera then a ballet dancer animation will follow them, however if they turned around i would want to flip the animation so the dancer still follows them. Hope this males sense, and I would be grateful for any help.

Many thanks, Sarah

Hi,

I am very new to PD and am attempting to use it for a university project. I have got a patcher which right now is tracking any motion from my isight camera and inputting it into an 8 by 1 grid. When motion is detected in these grid sections a coordinate is shown. However my next step is that I need to be able to play a different movie clip in each of these grid squares. Does anyone know of a simple way to help me do this?

Many thanks,

Sarah

thanks for that last bit, I'll give that a try, any idea about the direction problem?

That last patch was actually mine from a month or so back. Thought i would start a new one as was a new problem.

Thanks for the help,

Sarah

Hi, thanks for the help before,

I seem to have everything down that I want to.

The splits are meant to be controlling some of the numbers that can be played after each other. Need to fiddle around with them slightly more though.

However. I am still having trouble with the motion sensor. Can anyone tell for me if it has everything in or not?

Thank you all. getting to the final countdown for my degree show now...yikes!
