It was originally written for the ReacTable, a table top multitouch instrument:Some examples of ReacTIVision and MaxMSP: An interactive dining table (by my friend Evan!): Table Top mixer: Interactive structure:Chain reaction arpeggiator (I don't think this actually used reacTIVision, but it could):The is a hackable depth sensing camera and gesture tracking device.ĭata from the Kinect can be imported into MaxMSP through an application called. The software tracks x and y position and rotation and it's great for incorporating real world objects into your MaxMSP patch and making table top interfaces. There's tons of way to do this, here are a few: is a free, open source tool that and allows you to track objects with a camera by printing out and attaching on them.

My favorite Max applications are the ones that incorporate some kind of hardware interface. This course will cover Max and MSP.Here are some examples of awesome things you can do with Max.

And 'Jitter' is for graphics rendering and video manipulation. 'MSP' deals with signal processing and audio. ( - intermediate MaxMSP) ( - getting Max to talk to hardware)MaxMSP is split into several parts - 'Max' handles discrete operations and MIDI, this is the easiest place to start getting familiar with the tool. This Instructable is part of a I'm running at, it's part one of three Instructables that I'll be publishing over the course of the next week. MaxMSP is especially useful for building audio, MIDI, video, and graphics applications where user interaction is needed. Is a that helps you build complex, interactive programs without any prior experience writing code.
