Hey there.

I've been trying to get faceAPI&Processing working via 6dofstreamer.

The program acquires the String stream sent by 6dofstreamer and parses it into separate fields so i can simply move around a rect via face tracking.

The problem is im getting "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1" on line Code:

float secondNumber = Float.parseFloat(nums[1]); 

it throws the exception time to time not always. I guess its a problem with the str stream i get.

Should i put the lines dealing with acquiring&parsing data into a try&catch block? Would that solve the problem? And most importantly how ?

Heres the code:

Code:

 	

// Example by Tom Igoe

import processing.net.*; 
Client myClient; 
String inString;


void setup() { 
  size (500, 500);

  // This example will not run if you haven't
  // previously started a server on this port
  myClient = new Client(this, "127.0.0.1", 29129); 
} 

void draw() { 
  if (myClient.available() > 0) { 
    background(0); 
    inString = myClient.readString(); 
    String[] nums = split(inString, ' ');
    float firstNumber = Float.parseFloat(nums[0]);
    float secondNumber = Float.parseFloat(nums[1]);
    println(firstNumber);
    println(secondNumber);
    

    rect(firstNumber*-10,secondNumber*-10,20,20);
  }
} 

My second question is: Is it possible to get multiple streams from a web cam?

Since faceAPI uses the web cam im not able to use it from processing as well. Thus i cant merge the real image with, say, a horse face!

Thx in advance.

Now that makes sense =)

Thx for the quick reply.
