Overview
The RAMDanceToolkit is a C++ creative coding toolkit for creating environments for dancers. This toolkit contains a GUI and helpful functions for accessing, recognizing, and processing motion data, supporting the creation of various environments called “scenes”. By using code in an easy way, the toolkit allows you to provide realtime feedback for dancers. The toolkit uses openFrameworks, a software development toolkit for artists. The structure of the RAMDanceToolkit allows you to use functions from both the RAMDanceToolkit and openFrameworks. The RAMDanceToolkit will also be published as an application for Windows and Mac. As an application, users can choreograph or rehearse with previously programmed scenes.

The Motion Data OSC Server sends OSC messages to the RAMDanceToolkit, so you don't have to use MOTIONER or other sensors for testing. The following link includes RAMOSCServer and MotionData XML files. This application will send OSC messages to the RAMDanceToolkit when you drag and drop XML files onto the app screen. This is useful for testing the RAMDanceToolkit.
