Hey Josh, colleagues,

Curiously, I had the same surprise today in front of students :-(

I am trying to find a solution too. For now you could try another software for video processing and then send blob information to PD:

Processing via OSC? http://www.stefhancaddick.co.uk/new/hive-2/motion-detection-with-processing-osc/
CCV via Tuio (http://ccv.nuigroup.com/#home)

However, I would suggest a Kinect (via Kinecta) instead of webcams.

Cheers

Luiz Naveda
