Through the use of an off-the-shelf digital web camera and some custom software, a performer can be tracked in real-time resulting in information that can be used in endless interesting ways for audio and visuals.

This workshop takes place in a dedicated performance space and will involve:

• Looking at recent examples of the technology in practice
• Setting up basic motion tracking technology
• Exploring software options, from beginner to advanced
• Trying the system out and discussing possibilities

A basic level of programming and experience with real-time processing software (e.g. MAX/MSP, pure data, processing, openframeworks) would be an advantage.
