Camera Motion Detection in AS3

[Caleb Washington]

Hi,

I'd like to try that camera motion detection. Like I want to control something

using my webcam. Is that possible to do in Animate?

If so, how do I link my webcam?

Caleb.

no, the camera in animate is a virtual camera, unrelated to any real camera (webcam or otherwise)

What is it that you want to control? Character Animator (CH) has face and body tracking capabilities.

Oh I see. So, I'd have to use Character Animator. Okay. I'm trying to make like an interactive video game. I want the camera to detect my movement.

Can you do Actionscript in Character Animator?

[Caleb Washington]

Let me clarify. I want to make an interactive video game using my webcam.

Is that possible?

[kglad]

you want to make a game that utilizes a user's webcam to control the game?

[Caleb Washington]

Yes I would.

[kglad]

google it.  and check @JoãoCésar's links - looks like he's already googled it.

I don't believe that there is any AS3 code that will track input from a video source.

Hi.

If you Google for it, you will probably find some resources. For example:

https://www.leonardofranca.com/motion-detecting-webcam-with-adobe-flash/

But if the results are too outdated, you can consider using the HTML5 Canvas document and searching for a good JavaScript library.
