Message Format

Messages are sent across the network using Open Sound Control. OSC messages are transmitted via UDP while a gesture is being recognized and are named after the gesture they are for.

Format

Name: /GestureName

• X Position (float)
• Y Position (float)
• Z Position (float)
• Confidence (float)
• Duration (float)
• Tempo (float)

Notes

Because OSC uses UDP/IP not all messages are guaranteed to arrive. Programs receiving OSC messages should not be dependent on receiving all messages. Messages also cannot be sent over serial connections (USB, RS-232, etc.). If serial communications are desired, the SLIP protocol should be used.

ToDo

This should be done per user instead of per gesture. This would make it easier for multiple users to perform the same gesture at the same time.
