motion sensors and multiple video..????

[manonegra]

hello all,
i am a fine artist seeking to tap into this great collective database. Thank you all beforehand.

i am trying to rig a system where atleast 2 seperate video loops would be triggered by motion sensors.
Example: video is playing on screen, person walks up to a sensor and triggers it causing the video to change. Would this be possible through grid2 and its midi capabilities?


i am wondernig if its possible to have multiple such interactions with multiple projectors......with obviously the least amount of computers and hardware......software solutions preffered.

Could a program like grid2 - vidvox vdmxx create a dynamic environment?
could two seperate videos be output through one system? would two video cards do the trick?
and last, anybody have any experience triggering the software though outside hardware (ex:motion sensors)?

any help or direction would be great!

sorry for my ignorance.
thanks for your time,
a learning vj.

thanks sleepytom,
i am familiar with vjamm pro. i downloaded the demo some months ago.
what i saw in the link you posted is very close to what i had in mind. Are those floor switches linked to midi and then into vjamm?
how do they communicate with the program?
what direction should i take in regards to hardware?
thanks a bunch
