Intermediate Studio - Permanent Flux - Research - Motion Capture - Myron

For my idea to materialise I need a piece of technology that allows me to capture motion and send that data to a computer to trigger a reaction. One way of doing this is to use video tracking, such as Myron. Myron allows the user to capture motion with a camera and then due to its cross platform language with such processing systems as Java, Director and Processing, incorporate this motion into a piece of code. This is one option to take into consideration if I want real time visual representations of movement later in the future. It also will be useful basically for what I need at the moment for a computer to know simply yes or no if something is moving.
