pix_handtrack

This object is still in development and the current versions are very experimental. I hope to release a stable version in the following month.

In any case, it receives as input a grey video source and processes it live.

It's output is

1) the center (x,y) and general direction/angle of the hand. (purple arrow)

2) a point of entrance (x,y) to the video frame and angle to the center. (blue arrow)

3) position of each finger tip (x,y) and distance of each to the hand center. (greeen points and yellow lines)

4) position of each valley (x,y) and distance of each to the hand center. (red points)

5) a list of the x,y coords of each point in the contour.

The most interesting thing about this is that, like the hand, these variabloes are very interdependent and hard to control with conscious independence. This will oblige the performer to learn the response of the system strictly through experimentation instead of intellectualization.
