Processing methods question: simulating handheld video & http post

abtx

Hi guys,

I'm preparing myself for a project and looking for the right tool to do the job. I've used Processing for few projects, but it was long time ago. I think with this project, it may be a perfect opportunity to start using it again :)

Basically, I'll get stabilised footage, then will need to over-impose an image on top of that, and move entire object/scene based on handheld tracking data. I'd need a snapshot of the screen send it off via HTTP Post.

• how can I apply tracking data, what are the limitations?

• can I use HTTP Post in Processing.

Any directions and advice on doing this in Processing?

Thanks Processing community!

This should let you use HTTP Post. As regards tracking data, what format is it in? If you can extract x and y offsets per frame it should be fairly straightforward, but it will really depend on how much work you need to do to get that info.

Hope that helps.

Thanks velvetkevorkian,

As to tracking data, I think what I'll get is x and y in some form (probably from After Effects).

So it looks like Processing will manage this alright. Thanks for your reply, it was helpful.
