Sensors & Interactivity

SEE, HEAR, TOUCH, AND MAKE IT MOVE

Notch is a tool for creators, designers, and artists to create stunning and engaging interactive experiences with minimal technical knowledge. We're not a game engine pretending to be a design tool.

Lean on our extensive knowledge of the interactive entertainment space and native device support to bring your project to life, using the standardised platform for interactive content.

No-code environment

Notch allows artists and designers to harness the power of modern sensors to build engaging and interactive projects and deploy them at record speeds.

A standardised platform for interactive content

Notch provides a standardised platform for the delivery of real-time and interactive content as a single file. Notch Blocks are natively supported by all industry-standard media servers.

Scale from small to large

Your interactive installation may be as small as a single screen or as large as the MSG Sphere. With built-in determinism, scaling and testing tools, you can take your install anywhere.

Sensors natively supported

You can take an input as simple as an audio feed or as sophisticated as a cutting-edge depth sensor and drive any part of your visuals from it. Everything from MIDI to 2D LiDAR sensors to AI-based pose estimation.

FEATURES

Supporting all commonly used protocols and APIs, as well as all industry standard media servers.

TOUCH SCREENS TO TOUCH WALLS

Go from touch screens to touch walls with the same Notch project. Expand a test into a full-blown installation without the need for any additional software.

PEOPLE & MOTION TRACKING

Use motion tracking to drive performance with the human body; both in directly visible and more interpretive ways.

AUDIO REACTIVE

Use real-time audio capture, music and procedurally driven animation, to deliver intense audio reactive scenes and experiences.

WEB APIS, OSC, MIDI, TUIO, BLACKTRAX

Notch supports all commonly used protocols and APIs in the interactive space, which means you can have a truly interconnected interactive experience, all powered by the same software, with the freedom to control and ingest external data and media.

KINECT, AI & VIDEO-BASED MOTION CAPTURE

Kinect and other depth cameras are natively supported, as are industry-standard motion capture suits and equipment.

ANYTHING TO ANYTHING

Let sensors and inputs drive animation, including 3D and 2D, lights, geometry, and everything else in your interactive scene. Use 3D depth cameras, motion, and audio, and combine everything into an unforgettable immersive experience.

Audio to Anything

Use Notch's built-in audio analyser to isolate specific frequency areas to be more surgical, or let multi-channel audio from your show drive the visuals.

Motion to Particle Trails

Use motion capture suits or Notch's AI-assisted motion capture from video features to transform human motion into particle emitters and trails.

MIDI/OSC to Fields

Use MIDI or advanced OSC controllers to create volumetric fields and lighting effects. In fact, you can use the same controllers to direct your entire scene if you wish!

Touch to Physics

Touch-enabled devices and surfaces can be transformed into a physics playground for in-person interactivity displays. Use cloth, rope or rigid body simulations.
