[Bf-committers] GSoC 2013 - Motion Tracking

[Vilem Novak]

As a new media artist, I can't resist to say something:



new media artists and scientists need to find new ways how to use things and
to experiment.

 For this, they rather need an api than an integration which you are 
speaking about... 




The point is, they allready have it.

 I have used blender many times in interactive art - with midi, various 
tracking and motion recognition systems. 

And doing things regarding communication on the blender side was almost 
always the easiest part of the work, 

and it never took more than a few hours to get connected to whatever device.
You can use serial, network, simulate mouse... e.t.c. and I don't think you 
could make it easier, since the use is very different case by case.

So, I think I would recommend you a different project for a whole summer... 
e.g. integrating Leap motion or something similar, if it has to be about 
hardware.

But take this just as an opinion ;)
