Multiple colour tracking with Jitter question.
I'm creating an interaction design project that will read the colour combinations of a rubiks cube. Is this at all possible to do with webcams and jitter. I know that it's possible to do with single colours, but any tips or links to similar projects/code would bee very much appreciated.

you should be able to get a long ways with jit.findbounds, it's well-suited for this. just use nine to analyze each side. However, if there are multiple squares with the same color, you'll get the overall bounding box.
Actually, for a more or less static image of a side, you could just pick a point in each section and get the straight RGB values, may not need findbounds at all. Look to [suckah] to help determine the colors---as they are actually "seen" by the camera, that is.
Now, making an interactive virtual one with OpenGL would be really cool... especially if it solved itself!
You could use [jit.findbounds] to find the entire face of the rubik's cube and then downsample the resolution to 3 3 and use the colour values for each of the nine squares. I really hope you intend to hook this up to some sort of robot arm for automatic, extremely fast puzzle solving!
