Fun with Lemur

In Processing on 6 June 2006 with 2 comments

Jazzmutant was kind enough to lend me a Lemur device for the Processing workshop I will be animating next week in Bordeaux (12-14 June).
Lemur is a responsive touchscreen which can be interfaced with computers on a network by sending and receiving osc (and now also midi) messages. I’ve been using it for a couple of days and I’ve been quite amazed by its ease of use. A provided software allows you to inject interfaces in the device with predefined controllers you choose from a library. Then, it’s possible to script all the controllers’ properties, thus allowing the creation of complex behaviours and functions.
Anyway, images speaking louder than words (sometimes), here is a short video of some demonstrations we (Mike and I@2roqs) realized with Processing, both showing bidirectionnal communication between Lemur and Processing :
Video Link (.mov, ~4Mo), with music by SevenFive.

Sourcecodes of the projects are available here :
Sourcecodes, using the excellent oscP5 library by Andreas Schlegel.

I also interfaced it with VisionFactory, more videos are about to come soon !

Edit : added the .jzml file (lemur interface description file) in the sourcescode archive.
