NI mate + Kinect into Magic via OSC ?
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2018 8:18 pm
Hi Friends,
I am trying to import live data captured from Kinect Sensor (via NI Mate) and to stream this data into Magic via OSC. My goal is to map Magic effects on top of a real person (since the NI mate would stream the person's hand coordinates via OSC). More or less I want the person to shoot magical effects from his hands
NI mate captures and streams the data just fine, however I am new to OSC and I am not sure how/if I can imported this data into Magic. I've made the following and it somewhat works: The result is not satisfying since moving my hand on any of the axis cause the polygon to move.
However I cannot specify that I only want the X values of the incoming OSC signal. It seems the incoming data is like a merged value of all coordinates ?
On the NI mate help page, they have some info: But I have no understanding on how I can specify only the X values in Magic.
I've tried with other software, but they all have some build in module for handling such incoming OSC signals: As mentioned above I am concerned that all incoming data is one big number with build in logic behind and that's why all other software I've seen have special module to translate it...
Any OSC experts that can give me an advise ?
Here is a link to the NI mate's OSC details page: https://forum.ni-mate.com/t/documentati ... pic_id=284 + this info http://prntscr.com/l8f6nc if someone can understand what they are saying
Thank you for your time!
Regards,
S.
