What's New in TrackOSC

1.6.0

September 24, 2026

Three new things to track, a clearer face, and a new chip for landmarks. • Face Landmarks: a chip of its own next to Face. Face sends the box with head angles and the jawline; Face Landmarks sends the full 76-point constellation – eyes, pupils, brows, nose, lips, jaw – now drawn feature by feature on the overlay. • Contours: every edge outline in the frame, simplified and streamed as closed polylines. • Horizon: the angle of the horizon and a line across the frame. • Rectangles: screens, sheets of paper, doors – box plus four corners in the rectangle's own orientation. • Twelve detector chips, in a row that scrolls sideways. The new data goes out as three additional OSC messages (/contours/arr, /horizon, /rectangles/arr); every earlier message is unchanged, so existing receivers keep working. The free macOS apps – Receiver, Recorder, Speaker and Router – gain a true full-screen mode with a chosen background colour, and a Senders setting so a recording played back is never mixed with a live phone. Everything is still processed on the device; no video ever leaves your phone.

Perfect OSC from Computer Vision

This is a perfect little app that uses computer vision to detect faces, hands, body poses, and text in your phone’s camera. It then transmits that data over the popular OSC protocol to your other software. This utility is free and easy to use — ideal for teaching interactive media art to students. Made with love, there is no junk or spam.
