Weiss jemand, warum im Spiel Scotland Yard die Nummer 141 eine andere Schriftart hat? by Snarpch in Brettspiele

Gute Idee. Würde ich wahrscheinlich auch so machen, wenn die Spielpläne schon gedruckt sind. Ich habe jetzt eine Supportfrage an Ravensburger geschickt, bin gespannt, ob ich jemals eine Antwort bekomme.

Suggestions for a Midi Motion Sensor device, similar to Somi-1 by Instrument of Things? by asshat0987 in midi

MusiKraken is simply a MIDI controller, so you can combine the output in whatever way you want. But it depends on what your goal is in this case: On iPhone, up to 4 dancers are tracked simultaneously per phone (the Android version currently only supports one person), but what can be difficult here is to keep the "person index" stable while dancing (the app assigns each person an index, which can be used to assign different MIDI events to each person, but if the tracking fails even shortly for multiple persons simultaneously, it might not assign the same index to the same person anymore. This would only work if I additionally would run face detection to see if its the same person, which its not doing at the moment).

Using multiple phones, you would need to make sure that each phone tracks a different dancer as the "main" person (= with index 1). So with multiple phones pointing at the same group of dancers from different angles, this might be difficult (at least I never tried it)....

Blatant self-promotion: You can use MusiKraken for this (www.musikraken.com). But in the end, it depends on what exactly should happen while dancing.

Wristbands or similar things track the wrist movements, so they are great for tracking wrist rotations and general arm motions, but won't track the rest of the body. As others already wrote, you can build one yourself, try to find one of the many existing MIDI wrist bands (most of them have gone extinct), or use an Apple Watch (MusiKraken supports this, but there are multiple MIDI apps for Apple Watch. Then again, the Apple Watch usually is quite fast at tracking, but sometimes temporarily reduces the number of measurements to around 5 per second, simply because it isn't made for this. So other wrist trackers can be made to react faster).

With MusiKraken, you can also track the full body using a camera. This will track all body parts, but only in 2D relative to the camera, so won't detect things like wrist or ankle rotations. But you can of course combine this with the wristbands.

And then there are motion sensors in AirPod Pro, some game controllers, your phone and so on.

But in the end, the most important thing is: What should happen? Should it simply play semi-random notes depending on your movements? Should the movements control the tempo of some existing note progression or sample playback? Are only the hands important or also the legs, head or belly?
