Google Earth Browser Interaction in Isadora

[sonetlx]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to interact with Google Earth through Isadora. Currently I can monitor a browser window with the Screen Capture Actor but I'm not able to navigate the Google window. Ultimately my goal is to have real world events act like the direction arrows on a keyboard in the google space.

I've tried interacting with it using OBS, but it only shows the loading window of google earth, I think because the web address frequently changes when using google earth. 

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

You might have some success accessing the Google Earth API. Isadora has good options for working with API requests. Also there is some limited options to use a FreeFrame plugin generated through Vuo software (Mac only) to interact with a website by simulating cursor movement and clicks. More info and demo patch linked in this forum thread: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/7615/answered-screen-capture-hid-interactivity/2?_=164729165911

Best Wishes

@sonetlx I found this question fascinating so I created a control interface for the desktop version of Google Earth

The AutoHotkey (AHK) script has a CLI that Isadora can control with an SDK actor. If I have more time this week, I will take a stab at making the actor to run this file, or maybe @mark could beat me to the punch, in his abundant amount of free time?

@sonetlx of course! keep me posted on how it goes for you. I had some fun spinning around Google Earth yesterday to test and zooming to different locations.
