At this moment Max/MSP/Jitter environment is a main tool in our work. Max/MSP is a graphical programming environment, which can help in creation of unique software using a visual toolkit of objects, and possibility to connect them together with patch cords. The basic environment that includes MIDI, control, user interface, and timing objects is called Max. MSP is a set of audio processing objects that do everything from interactive filter design to hard disk recording. Jitter, is a set of matrix data processing objects optimized for video and 3-D graphics. In this section we will post some materials, related to this context.

>> Nu pogodi
Our first project based on the classic russian hand-held video game Nu pogodi. Specially designed software allows player to dip inside game environment. And – this is it: try to catch virtual eggs with help of real basket! In result, the game became very dynamic, and unlike to it’s predecessor it will force the gamer to sweat, when he is jumping for the eggs. Unfortunately, there are some limitations, i.e. the algorithm of the game based on the tracing of basket color, and player in red clothes can obfuscate the program (the basket is red too). In the near update we will fix this bug.

>> Roentgen
The men at all times wanted to know: what’s inside of him. So the discovery of Roentgen, and, later- Curie couple - suits very opportunely. Inspired by this greatest discoveries we decided to make our funny version of Roentgen machine.
So, with help of our program any person is permitted to view his/her “insides”, which are designed by artist, involved in the project. This procedure is absolutely harmless, and besides – is very fascinating.
Unique software, written specially for this project, traces the position of the plate and player with help of video camera, and special algorithm inserts the textures in the place of plate. The player watches himself and his “stuffing” on the screen opposite himself. Installation is working in real time, such kind of Roentgen has never been invented!

>>Tag
We didn’t change the main point of classic puzzle “Tag”. We simply decided to bind new interface to it. To control our Tag player must only to call to special telephone number from his cellular phone, after this, his phone becomes a real touchpad and player gain control of our puzzle.
