what is going on out there with motion detection applications? In researching how to do this project I found there are loads and loads of people experimenting with it and putting it to all kinds of uses. First some of the technologies and approaches used: There is a c# environment cal AForge.net which is open source

Since this is an c# programming approach it was not going to work for my project.
and it might be useful for anyone interested in c# to look at

as the code is posted.
Another approach is 'processing' which looks totally cool and I have already heard about it, completely open source and non-proprietary (unlike Flash). However since I am working in flash this had to be rejected.
see Myron which is

Here is some work that really blends the real with virtual, using the age old shadow game which becomes hugely embelished. Buit using 'processing' it shows an exceptional understanding of the potential of natural movement enhanced by digital media. The trend toward using digital media to extend the capacities of human movement is what interests me. Artur C Clarke points out that advanced technology cannot be distinguished from magic.
