Hi my name is Paul Sanderson and I own the company

Here is our latest project
http://fugitive.co.nz/category/projects
Processing is the brains behind the whole operation. It keeps everything running and in check. The Processing app controls the audio, controls all midi input for Ableton, directly drives one of the two Kinects, processes skeletal data, controls current audio mapping system, supply's system configs and states, displays a HUD for the artist, controls the C++ Visual App and process's realtime feed back from the visual app,
The reason we decided to go with processing for this part is the fact we kinda had a general idea of what we wanted to build and had a base to start from, but what we wanted to do was so far beyond that. The quick results, robustness and general agile nature of processing made it the ideal for the project.
We have a new post comming soon about how we did it.
Let us know what you think,
Thanks Paul
