I keep getting adverts for OnInOff which is a software designed to track visitors as they walk through exhibitions and the like.

It looks interesting, but I was wondering if anyone here has used it, if it pays nicely with Isadora, and if it gives meaningfully better results than a simple eyes++ actor. 

Thanks.

I haven't experienced this on Mac. What features are you using? It might be something that uses an additional thread.

I'm using Isadora 4.0.9 on an Intel Mac running OS 15.4.1. Isadora refuses to quit. I have to force quit the application. Sometimes I forget and Izzy stays open in the background. Is anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how I can fix this?

hello learning curve

I don't have the ability to write and modify all the code I need myself, but I've found that things like ChatGPT are generally pretty good at explaining to me what a given piece of code does and what I need to do in order to modify it to suit my intended purpose. It's helpful because I can actually send it code and ask specific questions in a conversational manner rather than trying to sift through google results in an attempt to find something relevant. That being said, LLMs do "hallucinate", so remember not to treat anything they say as absolute truth. (They're also good for asking for suggestions on where to find video or written tutorials to learn Python, JavaScript, etc.) The ethics surrounding using AI tools are certainly murky, but as I'm only using it for code I don't feel it's as heinous as using it to generate imagery. I also still hire actual programmers to write code for me when I need anything complex, so I'm not using it in an attempt to replace humans, I'm just using it as a learning tool and for little things here and there.

I'd advise you to download and install Isadora 4 from our Isadora Get It page and try it out in Demo Mode for free (without a license) to see how it runs on your computer(s). The only limitation of Demo Mode is that you cannot save your work, but both Isadora 3 and 4 can be installed on the same computer without issue.

@woland Hi thanks for your comment. I'm using Izzy 3.2.6 on both old and new Macs. I created a setup on the new MacBook Pro (2021 M1 Max) the same as the old working set-up, and made sure Rosetta was selected. However, the red light wouldn't come on on the Orbbec, as it does on the original set-up with the old macbook pro (2019). Will it work if I upgrade Izzy on the new mac to the latest version (4.09)? Hope so!

Otherwise i have to keep using 2 macs, the old one sending data across to Izzy on the new one!

I hope the Izzy upgrade will solve this problem i have had ever since starting to use a depth camera, years ago.

Fingers crossed!

I have made something similar actually. I used the 3d model particles actor and used an AI removal live feed background (via NVIDIA studio) and fed the live feed video into the gravity field. I don't have any pictures or video though sorry. I remember using the gravity to make the 'snow/rain' fall down.

If want to use the OpenNI Tracker actor on a newer Mac, you’ll have to enable Intel emulation (Rosetta) mode on the Isadora application.

We are very happy to announce that Isadora will be powering the Venice Architecture Biennale from May 10th until November.

Isadora Latin Network in partnership with mexican visual artist Héctor Cruz, is responsible for the design of the immersive video projection device that accompanies the installation.

The piece "SIESTARIO" (by Argentine architects Marco Zampieron and Juan Manuel Pachue) is the winning project for the Argentine Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. 

We're already working on the Biennial pavilion. More news coming soon.

If you're in Venice, don't miss the Biennale... !

Big hug,

Hi it's been a while but I'm getting back into Izzy and using an Orbbec depth camera.

Will I still have to use my old mac (to broadcast to new mac listeners) with the depth camera or has the new version of Izzy overcome the issue with OpenNI Tracker necessary to create data from movement?

Thanks, David
