objscrs is a motion tracking program that allows you to interpret the movement of objects and bodies in a live video image using different types of sensor zones.
The software enables still images and video clips to be loaded over the live video display, and for sounds to be played. These can be set and changed by use of zone actions. Data from the different zones can be sent to another application using the OSC network protocol. It has a built-in graphical programming language similar to that of Pure Data.
objscrs is an abbreviation of 'object scores'. It takes its name from the idea of objects and bodies being used as elements in performance scores, these scores being programs created within the software.
