I was wondering if it's possible to use the webcam as a musical instrument, so here are my first search results ...
Synaptic didn't show anything with a search for "video midi" or "cam midi", so I did a Google search, and <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmidic/>found 3 programs that might be interesting for use with a webcam, if they could get installed, and the webcam too : 1.Peripheral MIDI Controller<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmidic/> Peripheral MIDI Controller (pmidic) is a software program that intends to act as a MIDI controller by using various peripheral devices. The initial release(s) will be focused on using a webcam as a MIDI controller with 3 dimensions (XYZ). *Project Admins*: benxtan <http://sourceforge.net/users/benxtan/> *Operating System*: WinXP *License*: GNU General Public License (GPL)<http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=15> *Category*: MIDI Programming Language : C++<http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=165> User Interface : wxWidgets<http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=481> ----------------------2.Webcam Piano<http://www.memo.tv/webcam_piano_with_processing_v0_1>with Processing v0.1 <http://processing.org/> (from the homepage of Webcam Piano) "This is the beginnings of a Processing / Java port of the webcam-to-osc/midi app I originally did in Quartz Composer. The source code for the processing version is below, and you can watch (or download) the Quartz Composer version here<http://www.memo.tv/webcam_piano> )." *--------------------------** *3.Processing v0.1 <http://processing.org/> * * (from the Processing homepage <http://processing.org/>) Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain. Processing is free to download <http://processing.org/download/> and available for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. http://processing.org/ http://www.openprocessing.org/ http://youtube.com/group/processing --------------------- I'll be looking for more of this , and try to get something working later after finishing my quick C++ and Linux courses .. maybe somebody here has other ideas ?
