<![CDATA[To pause a video with Isadora when the kinect detect a motion]]>Hello ! I am using Isadora with windows 10 and Delicode Ni mate to make the kinect work. I have been watching a lot of tutorial but I am really a beginner. 

So I would like to pause a video when the kinect detect/track that people are moving in the room and make the video play when people are not  moving, I don't really know how to do it. Also is it possible to manage this degree of motion that make the video stop ? Do I need to use something as quartz composer ? 
I hope I am clear, sorry for my English, and thanks you very much !

**Thank you really much Marci ! I finaly change my plan and I am not going to use Processing into Isadora but I am still going to try, to see if I can make it work.**

That will send your processing output to Isadora.

In Isadora, you will then need a Syphon Receiver actor and a Projector actor. That's your Processing feed now coming into Isadora.
Now just switch the Projector actor on/off as needed.
You can also add OSC to the Processing sketch and send hand or blob co-ords to Isadora. If this value is greater than 0, you have movement. If it isn't, you don't. Have a look at the recent Motion Detection thread on here - there I attached a Processing Sketch that covers switching from sketch to sketch and sending OSC / Syphon etc.

I just realized that most tutorial that I found on internet are from you so thanks a lot again :D

I don't really use Processing. I would have no idea how to start and stop a processing patch sorry.

And can you help me for processing :< just to know if it's possible or not. Thanks.

If that see's anything then trigger 0 - pause or play at speed of 1 if no-one is there. Then you could just use a standard webcam.

But is it possible to integrate the processing sketch into Isadora ? Or should I do that inside Processing if it is even possible ? (by using true and false ?)  It seems that quartz composer is needed ? I looked at the forum but I am confuse...Thanks you

I am going to try that right away ! I do not have to use ni mate, I just figured out that it should be a way to do it and I found few tutorials to send OSC. What do you think I should use insted ni mate  ?

I expected to have at least 7 persons in the room because I know that the kinect can track up to 7-8 persons, well if not I will limit the entry to the room.

Basically you need to send OSC from Ni-Mate - I am presuming you know how to do that. Then you need to pick a port, so if Ni_mate starts tracking a persons head then it tells isadora to pause the video (0) and if nobody is there then play the video at normal speed (1). 
However you have said "people" not "person" so if there are lots of people then its more complicated. Ni-Mte can only track up to 4 people (I think). 
Do you have to use ni-mate?
