Interactive Animation Final
I have Track Them Colors Working tracking a color object for controlling a sprite that replaces the action of the cursor (Can't show anything new on the web since I can't publish to Shockwave with the demo Xtra). Works pretty well, but fairly slow. Not sure if it's due to a low webcam frame rate or the actual code. Thing I did learn, with the slow response time, the act of creating music (at least with these notes and this piece) becomes much less interesting, which doesn't help an already simple project. Responsiveness is a big issue in this instance.
So, alas, the published version uses the mouse. Need to check into some cheap motion tracking devices (e.g. mice like Sam recently purchased) while I continue to work towards computer vision tracking solutions. The project is limited at the moment, but there's potential...

my guess would be the webcam, probably... is it coming through USB or firewire? From my experience, there's a certain degree of lag even w/ firewire cams running through very fast tracking software like cv.jit, processing's video events, or softVNS. Perry would definitely be someone to ask about this, since I know he's worked a lot with track them colors...
