Hi, Do anybody have tried infrared cameras with pd/gem? i made an installation for public spaces. using a web cam i tracked the positions of people in a space(with pix_multiblob) then i send the resulting coordinates to a processing program that create a graphic representation of the people in a alife system, allowing people interact with the creatures. In the first version of the installation i projected the processing interface to a wall so people can see theirself in the projection and can modify their positions in the real space to control their visual representation.
What i want to do now is to project the processing interface to the floor, so people can interact with the creatures in more direct way. The problem with this is that it generates a feedback , because if i project the interface in the same space that is being tracked , the system is gonna track the projected images (retroalimentation) and it doesnt work fine. A friend of mine recommended to use infrared cameras , because they just track the humans bodys and not the projections. do anybody have tried infrared cameras with pd/gem?
which one do u recommend me? any hint?
many thanx for the answers
