Hi Joe,

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Here is a simple example tracking the head and hands. I don't know if it will help, but here you go:

I had some fun with it when I first got my Kinect, not had much time with other projects to keep exploring it though:

Communication is pretty simple (using OSC) although you have to 'ask' Synapse for the data that you want at regular intervals. (Details here: http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/post/6307752257/maxmsp-jitter)

Didn't see the part about paging synapse for coord data. D'oh.

If it helps- I made this help patch for my students, which should be comprehensive.

Hi Mark-David Hosale,

In your patch that you made for your students I am trying to work out how to get it to track the joint continuously without stopping, as currently it is stopping after a few seconds?

Thanks,
Catherine
