    something along the lines of this www.respondr.com


    Thanks

    you have a protocol that the tracking thing outputs?

    then you write something to translate that information into pixel coordinate... that you can send to catalyst.

    I've done this, it's quiet complex and not completely reliable. Contact me off list if you have more questions.

    It's not reliable because motion tracking things is exceptionally tricky

    And infra red tracking in theatrical type spaces even trickier
    It's exceptionally difficult to track things in space
    But harder than people ever imagine

    But people still try
