Tracking in that sense requires you to have gear that is in visible line of sight to the musician. If its a concert situation maybe that's not easy. But its a way to go. Note that will not produce good tridimensional tracking results, one could use a kinect too.
If we want to hyper extrapolate, if the concert is in a controlled room, you can use 3D IR tracking system, such as used for mocap. Real expensive but really accurate. :) Best luck, Pedro On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 8:01 PM, tim vets <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe it's worth mentioning that you can also work the other way round: > mount a small IR LED on the head of the instrument and track its motion > with a wiimote mounted statically in front of it. > I used this once for tracking a remote controlled robot and it worked > fairly well. > I guess that success will also depend on the type of movements the musician > will make. > The IR LED would need to stay directed to the wiimote all the times. > Also make the LED as omnidirectional as possible... > Tim > > 2010/12/1 Jose Luis Santorcuato <[email protected]> > > Hi, i connected pd with arduino and adxl330, works fine, in order to >> wireless i prefer arduino bluetooth, the only thing to do is change the baud >> for default the in firmata is 57600, in my experience only works if you >> change to 115200 (in the standard firmata arduino sketch,and the arduino >> monitor). >> >> If you have problems i can help you, i send a youtube video , >> pd+arduino+processing+osc wired...but arduino bluetooth or bluetooth shield >> for Arduino is the solution. >> >> http://www.youtube.com/user/santorcuato76#p/u/1/SM4Un76LB90 >> >> Best regrads from Chile >> >> José >> >> 2010/12/1 J bz <[email protected]> >> >>> Hey all, >>> >>> I'm working on composing a piece within pd for viola in which I would >>> like to attach some kind of sensor to the head of the instrument.
