This document shows how to hook the Percpetion Neuron motion capture suit to OpenPerform.
These two pieces of software enable the suit software to talk to OpenPerform.
- Download and install the Axis Neuron software
- Download, build, the PN Translator App (Windows Only)
OpenPeform needs to know where the suit data is coming from. So, find the target IP address and add it to the server config.
- Enable Perception Neuron data streaming
-
/server/config.js, line 53
enabled: true
- Add target IP address to the server config
-
/server/config.js, line 54
If PNTransformer is running on same computer, use 127.0.0.1
- Restart OpenPerform Server
-
Open Axis Neuron app.
-
Load a recorded capture session, hit play, and set it to loop.
-
Open PNTransformer app.
- Click "Broadcast" (You should see the numbers start changing rapidly)
Once the the Axis Neuron and PNTranformer apps are connected to the OpenPerform server, swapping sources is easy.
-
Power up suit
-
Connect suit to the same network as the computer running Axis Neuron and PNTranformer apps.
-
In Axis Neuron app, click Connect.
-
Select suit from list of available devices
-
That's it! If the OpenPerform server is still connected, it will display the live avatar as soon as it's connected.
