GMU:Tutorials/Networking/Controlling PureData with TheCaptury

How to

• Start computer on the right
• Login “Captury live” password “weimar”
• Start console
• Enter command -> captury
• If the cameras are not shown, take a look at the router on the right in the back space, maybe it is unplugged; it will take a couple of minutes to start the webcams
• After captury starts, take a look at the top right corner — if background is set to bad,- calibrate by clicking the button. If all is good, let someone go into the playground, drag and drop “<new>” above the figure on the webcams. If after draging and dropping no avatar appears, captury doesn’t detect figure. Maybe you are dressed black?
• Open Sound Control tab/panel (top left)
• From another computer open pd patch, connect to the captury station IP and send a “subscribe” message to the station. Path within the send message should look like:

[send /subscribe/yourname/blender/Root/vector( where “yourname” is your tracked avatar or * everything

• As soon as the connection is established, by default it runs 30s. The time could be changed in the settings
• Routed is the vector data XYZ
