Using Maxlink, we were able to send real time location coordinates from a colour tracking patch in max to a preliminary processing sketch. A localised behaviour around this location was triggered to create a visual link with the position of the object being tracked. This is clearly displayed in the screen capture below.

The maxlink plug-in allowed for Processing and Max 5 to communicate. This made it possible to transfer data to and from the respective programs.
