Body tracking with Yolo

@jfg Yes you are right I also noted that. Give feedback to Colin, but have you seen the developer mode ? I am sure there is the possibility to correct that from within the software.

Hi @jfg, I'm the author of MovementOSC. I'm really glad to hear it's been useful for you!
For the first issue, I haven't noticed this issue myself so I'm very interested to learn more and see if I can reproduce it. I just finished an residency at Jacob's Pillow recently where we used MovementOSC running in the background while another app (which transformed, visualized, and proxied OSC message to a robotic system and to Isadora) was running in the foreground. What operating system are running MovementOSC on, and what do you notice when it's not active on the screen?
The second issue, you're right, there's currently no persistence for settings. So it forgets any changes you make to the IP address, port, or model settings. I work on MovementOSC in my spare time, so I'm not exactly sure when I'll be able to add this feature, but I've filed an issue for it and will try to implement something when I can.
I'm excited to see what kinds of things you end up doing with it!

Hi Colin,
First of all, thank you very much for this wonderful software. I have been looking for something like this for a long time to make interactive installations.
In the interactive installation, an image is projected onto three walls (3 projectors), which changes as the audience progresses into the room. One camera is positioned so that the entrance is on the left and the “climax” on the right. It would be ideal if I could capture the audience from above, but I don't think MovementOSC could recognize people from this perspective. I haven't been able to test it yet. I had tried from above with the Eyes+ actor but as the room is low I had to use a fisheye camera and the distortion makes everything very difficult. My first tests with MovementOSC have been very positive so far (as described above from the side and not from above), although I have not yet been able to test with several people. I hope to be able to do so in the next few days.
For the installation I use a Mac mini Pro M4. “It is possible to connect “only” three screens/projectors, which I need for the three walls. When I use MovementOSC with Isadora it works well as long as I am in "Stage preview" mode. But when I put the stages in full screen mode (Cmd G), MovementOSC no longer works and the OSC data freezes. If I only needed two projectors and had MovementOSC on the third screen, there would be no problem. As a workaround I made a 4th virtual screen with the app Betterdisplay and moved Movement OSC there. It seems to work but is too unreliable for a museum/gallery installation and must be set up manually every time, which is usually not reasonable for the staff.
I hope I was clear enough and it can help for further development.
I also tried to set the format at startup in the file /Applications/MovementOSC.app/Contents/Resources/app/src/renderer/format-selector.js
I change the order in " const OSC_FORMATS = [ " and in fact after a new start "bundled-xyz-array" is shown immediately but it does not work. Not even if I
This.select = new Select(container, [], "bundled-message-per-axis");
change to:
This.select = new Select(container, [], "bundled-xyz-array");
Since I'm not a programmer, I gave up before I completely broke something.
I will continue to try with the virtual screen and get back to you when I have tested further.
Edit:
Unfortunately I have to correct something. I did the test on the Mac with „monitors use different spaces" and only used one monitor. When I switched Isadora to fullscreen mode, it worked fine, but in "different spaces" mode, Isadora only recognises one external monitor. When I turned this mode off and consequently had only one space, the virtual monitor was also part of the space, and MovementOSC also became inactive when I switched Isadora to full screen mode, which is the presentation mode. To get it to work, I have to bring MovementOSC to the foreground, but then I see the menu bar. That means no workaround.
Edit 2:
Perhaps at least a way with the virtual screen if I set this screen as the main screen. But this will cause other problems. I will try it in the gallery tomorrow
Best regards,
Jean-François
