Tracking in that sense requires you to have gear that is in visible line of sight to the musician. If its a concert situation maybe that's not easy. But its a way to go. Note that will not produce good tridimensional tracking results, one could use a kinect too.<div>
<br></div><div>If we want to hyper extrapolate, if the concert is in a controlled room, you can use 3D IR tracking system, such as used for mocap. Real expensive but really accurate. :)</div><div><br></div><div>Best luck,</div>

Maybe it's worth mentioning that you can also work the other way round:<div>mount a small IR LED on the head of the instrument and track its motion with a wiimote mounted statically in front of it.<br>I used this once for tracking a remote controlled robot and it worked fairly well.</div>

Hi, i connected pd with arduino and adxl330, works fine, in order to wireless i prefer arduino bluetooth, the only thing to do is change the baud for default the in firmata is 57600, in my experience only works if you change to 115200 (in the standard firmata arduino sketch,and the arduino monitor).<br>
<br>If you have problems i can help you, i send a youtube video , pd+arduino+processing+osc wired...but arduino bluetooth or bluetooth shield for Arduino is the solution.<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/santorcuato76#p/u/1/SM4Un76LB90" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/santorcuato76#p/u/1/SM4Un76LB90</a><br>

Hey all,<br><br>I'm working on composing a piece within pd for viola in which I would like to attach some kind of sensor to the head of the instrument. The sensor must be capable of tracking the performers movements on the x,y,z axis', be undetectable for the performer, and be wireless. I'm not sure whether something arduino or some sort of bluetooth device would be preferable?<br>
<br>Would be very grateful if any listers have any experience in these matters and could recommend some devices, pointers of things to watch out for (bluetooth in concert venues for example), general sturdiness of various items, etc.<br>
<br>Many thanks, and best wishes,<br><br>Julian<br><div style="display:inline"></div>
