New public beta version now available!
Cyclops is a Max object which receives and analyzes live video input.
It can be used to track motion, colors and grey level from a video
camera or any live video feed. Cyclops receives input from a
QuickTime video input source (such as a video capture card, USB or
FireWire video input), analyzes the video frames and outputs messages
based on the image analysis.
Cyclops is a major upgrade to the VideoIn object. Cyclops adds color
support, a graphical user interface and editing features, a better
zone numbering system and saving of video and object settings. It
works properly with PPC machines (and in fact, is PPC-only) and with
most QuickTime input hardware.
Cyclops release version will be available for sale in June.
