Ultraleap Max external

An Ultraleap Leap Motion Controller Max external
Jean-Michaël Celerier / Mathieu Chamagne

Ultraleap Max package available in Max Package Manager.
Source code available on GitHub : https://github.com/celtera/ultraleap

Compatible with the Leap Motion Controller 1 & 2, Ultraleap 3Di Stereo, IR 170 Evaluation Kit.

Requires Gemini: Ultraleap Hand Tracking Software
Build for Max 8 for Windows, Mac intel & arm64.

This external returns :

frame_info : frame_id, left & right hands tracking status, device_framerate
hands (palms) : position(xyz), orientation(quat), velocity(xyz), pinch, grab
Fingers (tips) : position(xyz), orientation(quat), velocity(xyz), fingerExtended, fingerLength
Bones : prev_joint(xyz), bone_orientation(quat), next_joint(xyz), bone_width, bone_length

Multiple devices support : select device by index or serial number.

This external is built thanks to the Avendish library, which allows (among other amazing things) automatically generation of Max/MSP and PureData objects.

MMF-Fantastick

MMF-Fantastick : Max Multitouch Framework for Fantastick on iPad, iPhone & iPod-touch

I’m happy to share this « framework » for Max & Fantastick.
(Fantastick is a free app for iPad, iPhone & iPod-touch : http://pinktwins.com/fantastick/ )

MMF-Fantastick is an extension of MMF (Max Multitouch Framework) : a set of abstractions to control max user interface directly within a multitouch screen.

MMF-Fantastick will draw on your iDevice (in Fantastick) a copy of all UI objects of your Max patch, and let you control them directly from the multitouch screen of your device.
It’s really easy to configure, fast, bi-directionnal.. and free !

have a look at this video :

– first, install and configure Fantastick on your iPad (http://pinktwins.com/fantastick/ )
(test it with the maxhelp patch)
– download & install MMF-Fantastick from http://code.google.com/p/mmf/downloads/list
(copy it anywhere in your max search path)
– open MMF-Fantastick_template.maxpat

(Fantastick works much better with an ad-hoc WIFI network, without WEP encryption)

MMF (Max Multitouch Framework)

mmf_logo1

this project was initiated in the Virage project.

The idea : control max user interface directly within a multitouch screen.

This « framework » consists in a set of max abstractions. to « multitouchize » a patch, you just need to place an « mmf.interface » abstraction in your patch, and add to presentation mode and give a name to all the UI object you wish to control with your multitouch screen… and that’s all ! MMF will do the rest…

Requirements :

– cycling’74 Max5 (version 5.0.6 required) – any multitouch interface that sends TUIO messages. MMF has been tested and works fine with : Stantum SMK-15.4 multitouch screen, HP XT2 tablet pc (windows7 + W2TUIO), Demand Evolution + home made multitouch screen + Reactivision or Tbeta , …

PMPD UB

pmpd library Universal Binary (author : Cyrille Henry)
pmpd is a collection of object for pd / max. These objects provide real-time simulations, specially physical behaviors. pmpd can be used to create natural dynamic systems, like a bouncing ball, string movement, Brownian movement, chaos, fluid dynamics, sand, gravitation, and more. It can also be used to create displacements thus allowing a completely dynamic approach of pd computing.
