Max, MSP and Jitter comprise 95% of the software system. The remaining 5% is Python and micro-controller code.
The Max system consists of a suit of modular components/patches:
2 jit.openni processes performing skeleton tracking, on 2 separate machines, for 360° coverage
skeleton merger, combines the 2 tracked skeletons
motion abstracter, extracts control data from the merged skeleton, all data stored in matrices for efficiency and processed with jit.gen
sensor gloves abstracter, handles the accelerometer and bend sensor input streams
main patch, system clock, settings manager, sequence control
multiple generators, one or more for each scene, generate geometry and audio, some using jit.gl.phys and gen~
geometry renderer, OpenGL output to TripleHead2Go and 3 or 4 projectors, jit.gl.node&camera make this a whole lot easier than before
audio mix hub, 4.1 output
The sensor gloves are built around SenseStage MiniBee wireless (XBee) micro-controllers. They come with their own firm/software suit, the latter in Python.
