Pop-Up-Play - Mixed reality system - http://thesparkarts.co.uk/popupplay/ If you are not a developer, use the above link to access a simple download for the software.

The software is built using Cycling74s 'Max' environment and is licensed under the MPL licence (see LICENCE file), but makes use of third party elements that have their own terms and conditions. See the Manuals, in the 'Manuals' folder for full instructions on installing, third party dependencies and a full description of the system. See the Pop Up Play website for details on the project.

NB - Open the 'launcher.maxpat' file, this will set a temporary search path and find all the media and subpatches


Version 1 was OpenNI based and built for Mac and Windows, but since Apple aquired OpenNI, the skeletal tracking module (NITE) is no longer legal to use. Current version is based on MS Kinect libraries, exposed by the dp.kinect object https://hidale.com/product-category/software/ (which has its own terms and conditions inside the dp.kinect folder and requires a purchased registration file to function). Therefore, full functionality of the software is currently only supported by Windows in a legally compliant way, but the OpenNI elements and Mac functionality remain in case an alternative to NITE is found.


If you experience any problems, find any bugs or want to request any features, please refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual, the issues list on this repository or the discussion boards on the Pop Up Play Website.
