VideOSC

VideOSC is an experimental OSC
* controller, using the color information retrieved from the video stream of the inbuilt backside camera of an Android-based smartphone (or tablet computer). The images coming in with the video stream are scaled down to a user-defined size (e. g. 5 x 4 pixels) and the RGB information of each pixel is sent to an OSC-capable application running on a computer within the local network.
VideOSC provides a non-interactive mode, in which all pixels will simply send their RGB information over the network, and one that allows to manually disable sending OSC messages for selected pixels. Apart from that VideOSC may either send the RGB information of the original or the inverted image.

VideOSC does not provide any sound creation capabilities itself.

VideOSC should work with any OSC-capable software. Ideally this software allows algorithmic sound synthesis and control (e. g. SuperCollider, Pure Data, MaxMSP, etc.).
