Hey Everyone! I'm New To Max/MSP/Jitter but I do know some of the fundamentals. currently I am working on a Music Conducting Software using Max and the XBOX 360 Kinect. So far i have the whole motion tracking things down in my newest patch. the next step for us is to somehow be able to put a grid on the LCD that shows what the IR camera is picking up. Also, I am looking for a way to track and trace the motion of a single body part across the screen with some sort of line being able to trace out the path in which i'm traveling so there is some kind of visual (for example a line that follows your hand across the screen and as you move the tail of the line fades away and keeps on tracking...the kind of effect that the app fruit ninja uses when you swipe your finger across the screen)

Does anyone have a patch that they can share or any ideas to get me on the right path? I'll make sure to post my patch below so you all can explore it and give me feed back.
