its probably wont be possible to do this with processing alone. You need some hardware to do so. So i would recommend to take a look at arduino, its like processing but focuses on building hardware. http://arduino.cc/

and then just use a standard motion sensor. the ones you know from home that turns your lights on in your front yard. I found 2 tutorials about arduino and motion sensors.

take a look
