Using motion sensing to control audio playback

footsyboot's icon

I want to create a patch that uses an on board computer camera to sense how much motion there is in the frame and play a song when enough motion is detected. When there is no motion I want the song to stop playing.

I understand this might be a simple patch to create but I am extremely new to max and am having trouble getting started. Any advice or direction would be more than helpful! Thanks!
