"Hi,

I am wanting to create an interactive installation piece and I wondering if anyone can help me with some information please.

I want to be able to move an image from a video projector along the floor in an x/y plane using a DMX-512 controlled mirror, so that the image follows a person around automatically within a given space.

Does anyone know of any DMX tracking software?

Thanks,
Macro"

This is a frequently asked question, and the best answer I can give is that it is possible, but very difficult.

The Compu Live spotlight feature will work in lining up a group of fixtures together and focusing or moving them on a single position.

The difficult part is the variables involved in using a remote spotlight, such as smooth pan and tilt movement, hard stops on an individual point, and the persons ability to accurately execute a real time followspot effect on the controller.

As far as automatically following a person on the floor, there used to be a few really expensive DMX tracking systems out a while back (none of which we have made), but Compu Live cannot track someone in 3d, there are again to many variables involved.

Hope this helps.....
