This file shows basically what Dusx was saying here.

@ckeng I linked my file in the words "this file" so you can try my exact setup.

Back to infra-red tracking ! Request for advice on devices, etc

@emtv I don't know your set, but often lighting the thing that does not move is easier than lighting the thing that does, so carefully lighting the set with IR and not lighting the stage could be an easier solution. As long as you have good contrast between the set and the actors you can always adjust the image and invert it. I could imagine trying to always light the actors everywhere on stage and not spilling on the set could be more difficult.

Body Mapping with Isadora

Hi everyone, and many thanks for all your input, truly appreciated.

I should have mentioned this is a research project, more a case study regarding the bidirectional communication between systems than a performance itself.

The goal is for us to study and understand the possibilities (and “less possibilities”) to use our systems for expressive movement analysis in performing arts, and the idea of body mapping was just a “small” extra we added to increase our enthusiasm with the experience.

I agree with what @mark_m mentioned, that if we limit our ambition and keep the project simple we’ll be able of getting something reasonably convincing.

Also going to watch the tutorial on infrared tracking, thanks for that @mark.

This topic is getting quite interesting I have to say, please feel free to keep the discussion happening, as new ideas may arise from it.
