Would it be possible to use kinect as an input device with current version of modul8 (without madmapper)?
If so, what's the options do I have?

i'd have a little search. Im sure people have mentioned this before but not sure where.

. yes.. but, of course it depends on what you want to do and the resources you have a available.

. i set up a kinect on a macMini then sent the video to a macPro running Modul8 ( http://vimeo.com/17314948 ) to play around w/the video streams. also, i set up the OSC module to listen from TUIOkinect so i could move my hands to control effects as well, but didn't feel like pursuing that module concept any further.

. i would say start with TUIOkinect (http://code.google.com/p/tuiokinect/) and then send the OSC data to Modul8 to get a feel for what can be done.

I just post a video tutorial that shows you how to use the kinect as a controller for Modul8. Hope you like it, is recorded in spanish, sorry about that: http://luiscript.com/2012/03/controland ... o-synapse/

If there are subs in English it would be gorgeous..)

Agreed. I don't understand the video quite enough.

How is this going to help us If we can't understand it man?

. did you even watch the whole thing? i don't speak/understand spanish very well - but you could follow what he was doing...

Download:
Synapse - interfaces w/the Kinect, sends OSC data
and the QuartzConnect demo

*Edit to add - read how it is set up : http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/post/63 ... z-composer

OSCulator - an OSC bridge from Synapse to the Modul8

He sets the output of Synapse to UDP port 12348

In Modul8
Load 'OSC (global)' module

set routing in OSCulator
set incoming port to 12348 (from above)
the first column looks like 0=x, 1=y, 2=z
change 'Event Type' to 'Route OSC'
pick item in from the modul8 keyword list
set port to the same port as the 'OSC Global' module (the module defaults to 8002 - he uses 9000)
send the message '/md8key/(item from modul8 dictionary)/0'

Turn on 'OSC (global)'
Edit the module so
value=DataList[2] / 480
i'm guessing b/c OSClator sends x/y as a 640/480 position
use value = 1 -DataList[2] / 480 to invert values


. was that so hard?
