Can anyone help -

I'm trying to utilize motion capture areas, by way of having a small number of small boxes in the Gem window which, when they recognise movement, will begin tasks such as recording video.
The purpose for this is to allow a user to start and stop recording a video clip, which will then be mixed back alongside a live webcam stream. Almost like a sort of video based loop sampler.

I have a patch for motion capture; which allows the user to move a 3D ball along the screen by waving their hands through one of two boxes (one box instigating the ball moving left, and the other it moving right). However, as I do not fully understand the patch, I'm struggling to adapt it for my project.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

i suggest you to split your project into small different steps, otherwise it would be too difficult for us to help. before getting deep into multiple motion capture "areas" try to make a simple and essential motion capture patch, once you've done that you can move to the multiple areas part, then to the video loop recording (?) and all the rest.
