Planned route

  1. Define the coordinate mapping area that matches your stage and audience.
  2. Convert Gravity Data Feed azimuth and distance to positions inside that area. Elevation would be returned as unsupported.
  3. Send positions from an adapter, test with a person watching the system, then publish a profile.

What you can do today

Request plans in the playground or over the API and use them as movement ideas that an operator programs by hand.

FAQ

Can Gravity Data Feed run a show on its own?

No. On live systems keep a person in charge of every movement.

Will ADM-OSC help here?

If your system supports it, a single ADM-OSC profile could reach it along with other receivers.
