Daniele Comments:

I realised a little Processing sketch that tracks the light blob I shot in front of webcam, normalises X and Y coordinates to MIDI acceptable values, and then sends them to a filter effect in Ableton Live.

I also realised the little control panel that allows to correctly make the MIDI mapping and set some blob detection’s params.

My toolkit:
Processing.org
MIDI: theMidiBus Processing‘s library
blob detection: openCV Processing‘s library
GUI: controlP5 Processing’s library
Ableton Live

Software might be released soon, depending on conditions given from University where Daniele Mattei is undertaking a study.

New Features : Mother 0.6:

• Small mistakes fixed from previous 0.5 release: Waltz synth example was not working, and I failed to mention in the documentation that you also need the Shapetween library to develop new synths. Note: Shapetween is a library for Processing that provides an easy way of animating elements within a sketch in a variety of ways.
• More comprehensive secondary screen support introduced.
• pre(), draw(), post() and dispose() methods are now called properly in synth libraries.
• It is no longer necessary to put an Init() method in sketches intended as Synths for Mother (Finally!).

Download:
As always, you can download the latest version from the Google code repository!

Version 6.0.1 has been added with minor tweaks!

About Mother
A library & host by Ilias Bergstrom for the programming environment processing.org, with contributions by Krzysztof Goliński and Alice Lottini. Last update, 06-Oct-2009.

From the colour organs of past centuries, to todays VJing and new media art performances, artists and scientists have shown perpetual interest in the live performance of visual imagery.

The limited aesthetic flexibility permitted by existing tools however has meant that artists striving to differentiate their work have most often been the inventors and creators of the tools they use.

To address this obstacle, we have developed a set of tools, that make use of and extend the popular Processing open-source multimedia programming environment.

Together they will enable artists without the skills of computer programming to significantly influence the content of their visual performance, while also keeping the programming of new graphics algorithms accessible to those seeking greater creative freedom.

Installation

Unzip “Mother 0.5 for Processing 1.0.7 – Windows.zip” or “Mother 0.5 for Processing 1.0.7 – OSX.zip” archive, depending on your platform.

In the folder “Foetus library” you will find Foetus.zip; extract this and put the extracted Foetus folder into the libraries folder of your processing sketches. Reference and examples are included in the Foetus folder.

For instructions on using Mother, read included “GETTING STARTED.TXT” file.

Tested

Platforms Windows, OSX
Processing 1.0.7

If you follow developments around VJ culture and Video Installation practises, Video Mapping practise has become a new Black with nearly everyone having a go at warping and mapping they video textures onto various objects in the space. Effective and brilliant approach. While some vj software have addressed this issue almost right away (eg vvvv, Module8) some other open source projects are taking initial steps in that direction.

Just came across this project called Keystone for Processing

Keystone is a video projection mapping library for Processing. Right now it allows you to warp your Processing sketches onto any flat surface by using corner pin keystoning, regardless of your projector’s position and orientation. The goal is to eventually expand this library to enable more advanced projection mapping, such as projecting on 3D models or curved surfaces and edge blending of multiple projector screens.

Download

Download keystone version 001 in .zip format.

Installation
Unzip and put the extracted keystone folder into the libraries folder of your processing sketches. Reference and examples are included in the keystone folder.

Keywords
projection mapping, corner pin keystoning

Reference.
Have a look at the javadoc reference here. a copy of the reference is included in the .zip as well.

Source. The source code of keystone is available at SourceForge, and its repository can be browsed here.
Examples

Find a list of examples in the current distribution of keystone, or have a look at them by following the links below.

This is a very alpha release, which means the API could (and probably will) change in future releases. Please send feedback or feature requests!
