Digital Puppetry / Machinima using the Game Engine

Very cheap digital glove: connect lower jaw to joystick. Personally though, I think a solution like magpie if you’ve ever seen it would make the most sense. You just type keys against a wave diagram of the sentence.

You could also build a mitt-like device that worked like a puppet’s mouth but was essentially a joystick.

I haven’t really looked at Magpie yet, but it’s interesting. I like the idea behind it, but it would nice to have the spontaneity you get from syncing on the fly.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is GHOST?

I’m teaching a series of workshops this week, can’t wait until they’re over so I can get back in to this project. Thanks again for everyone’s help and suggestions, they’re fantastic!

GHOST is Blenders low level device event subsystem.
