Webcam + motion detection in Processing 3 without showing background video?

superbro

Hi, I am new to Processing and trying to create an interactive digital artwork, which would detect (by a webcam) a viewer's movements and generate abstract visual elements (i.e. particles). Similar to James Alliban's Virtual Ribbons (https://www.jamesalliban.com/#/virtual-ribbons/). Can anybody provide me with a code example of a similar project? Also, I don't want to display the video of the viewer/performer. Is there a way to do it? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I don't want to display the video of the viewer/performer.

Everything needs to be drawn to canvas in order to show up there.
Therefore, if we don't display the video image still, nothing's gonna show up!

GoToLoop: Thanks a lot! Do you have an example code to share? I am new to programing.

Most of my Capture examples are spread among tag captureEvent():
