Help me describe MID and OSC to a device manufacturer

    Interesting kickstarter project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1870371192/motus-a-simple-gesture-and-3d-interface-for-design) which IMHO could have some applications in regards to music performance.
    Where can I find the best resources to help this guy understand the MIDI and OSC protocols?

    I'm not sure it matters. Neither MIDI nor OSC operate natively over bluetooth just yet, so you are going to have to run a piece of software to translate from one protocol to another.

    If they make their class-compliant HID drivers, you're pretty much set to build a software bridge in Max. Doesn't really matter if that guy understands the protocols; the community can support itself, and continue to support itself long after he's gone.

    If they give up on HID class-compliance and instead release proprietary/closed-source drivers, this project is a bad investment in regards to music performance (even if their drivers output OSC and MIDI).

    Precious, thx!

    (Haha, well, don't only describe it like that if you actually want this guy to remain interested in implementing OSC ;p
    Here's a useful description:
