light sensor activated video project - seeking advice/patches

creatielivin's icon

I'm rigging light sensors to a large book such that each page has a tab that covers a sensor and the idea is that when that sensor is covered "x" video is projected onto that page of the book.

Has anyone developed a MAX/MSP_jitter patch that might work with this project with a little tinkering. Basically I need to have 8 sensors that each point to a different video file. If anyone knows a similar project they can point me to that would be great.

The video files are all 24 fps HD and I'm wondering if that's going to be a problem with MAX/Jitter. Can I have Max just turn the videos on in quicktime?

Any advice is appreciated!

THANKS!
