The only constant in the world is change. How to find the balance in the changeable world is one of the most important subject in our life. It is a process which from finding the change of environment to reacting to it. And the process is also can be renamed as study. From a balance status to another balance status, it shows the most notable features: live, dynamic, energetic. It means there are a number of external factors affect the balance ,instead of in a isolate scene. <br> | The only constant in the world is change.

But after we put these style in game we found we can't control the movement of texture, it didn't reach our expectation so we chose a simple way to express it. The background is red and the player are light yellow cube.

This program has two main parts. One is to connect the Unity and theCaptury, and send the position data of each bone to the game object. The other is to control the environment parameters and generate a plain and a ball. <br> | This program has two main parts.

These are all game objects in this project. Including all the models and scripts and other setting like camera and UI. This concept is based on object-oriented programming so that users can add components to each object based on their needs.<br> | These are all game objects in this project.

TheCaputry provides API for Unity applications. It uses UDP as its Internet protocol suite. In “Osc_Receive_tutorial” this script we should set remoteIP or local host if tested locally, listening port and sending port. Taking into account the stability of the system the listening and sending port should be 1065. | TheCaputry provides API for Unity applications. It uses UDP as its Internet protocol suite.

In this project we have at least two or three players on stage. To define every bone in every player and put them in an array.

Unity has its own humanoid system to recognize the bones in model and match it. Users need to define animation type and avatar definition. Next step is to initialize on start up to listen for messages make sure this game object has both UDPPackIO and OSC script attached.
