I am doing this interactive media project for a school assignment and what i wanted to do is to use infrared cameras to detect people and upon detection, a sound file will be played. Does anyone has any available patch or any idea how this can be done. Not much of a programmer myself so it would really help if I could get some guidance.
Thanks

most important thing you need to tell us is how the cameras are connected to your computer. is it like a webcam that can project an image via USB ?? or is it just like a sensor that sends a voltage due to light intensity?

if you haven't checked the mailing list yet, then google for "pure data mailing list", and then search for "motion detection" in the mailing list archives.

we can help you here too, but you really need to give more info about your setup.
