Hm, I have used the Kinect (2) in the past and thought the latency was quite good actually. If that is too slow for you the iOS body tracking might be as well, I find it has even an even bigger delay than the Kinect. It is also less precise because it relies completely on 2d camera input and a machine learning model. Now I am thinking of putting the OSC feature back in for a future update :)

Thanks! It actually launched some months ago but this is the version I feel confident about to share.

on OSC: I already have implemented this feature in my development version. It would just send the raw body tracking data (joint 3d location). I was not sure though if it would be used by anyone and where to put it, so I did not ship it.

About the presets and general interactive/creative features, please read my answer to wintermutestwin, I am working on it.

It does not support multiple dancers because the "Motion Capture" feature (which is proprietary) does not support it… :/

The only other AR "musical" tool I know is "here hear": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/here-hear/id1249413969?ls=1

Thank you! I did not know of D'Cuckoo, so thanks for the pointer.

During my research I found a lot of projects that connect body-movement and interactive music which could usually be put in one of these categories: 1. research projects that never left the university 2. art installations or performances - So both were tied to a specific time and place. My goal was to create something mobile, bringing this kind of experience into the home, or wherever.

Right now this is a non-commercial product, like a test balloon. I can imagine to collaborate with musicians and offer their creations as IAP in the future.

About bringing in your own samples etc.: I have started to work on an editor (native Mac app) with which people could create their own interactive compositions. They could then import them into the app and ideally even share them with others. I hope to have a first version out in a couple of months; luckily I got a tiny bit of funding for that project.

Thanks!
