SKETCH THREE: prototype tracking up to 5 sprites!!!

Update on the project, the flash sprites has at least 5 sprites in them at the moment. The only thing is that the system is very in-efficient, so if there are more then 5 players it won't track them. Right now I am currently trying to find a efficient way of trying to make one main code that will do the drawing and the connecting in flash. For implementing MAX MSP to Flash, I have found AS2 or AS3 FlashSever, which some people online has managed to connect the two platforms. On top of that I have found that flash can do blob tracking, but currently being able to track one blob or if there are two, tracking them as a whole.

The motion tracking I have found is called "Flash AS3 Webcam Motion Tracking", so hopefully I can connect this and perhaps try to take the information from the webcam blob and put it into Flash. If in the best case scenario that the MAX MSP can be linked efficiently to Flash, then we will move the project forward with the MAX MSP blob tracker.

The slide presentation and the research paper are coming along and hopefully by the weekend, the project will be mostly complete and testing will come into play.
