Project 1 – Adam J. Thompson

I am interested in creating a patch that uses a Kinect, other infrared cameras, and/or infrared sensors to map audio-responsive video to moving targets. I’ve been toying around with the potential for mapping video to musical instruments, with the video content generating and animating in response to the music which the instrument(s) is/are playing. As the instruments inevitably shift in space during any given performance, the video sticks to them through IR mapping. I’m curious, also, about how the video content might represent and shift according to the harmonies at work in the music itself.
