OSCall is a compact, wireless sensing device designed for live performance, interactive installations, and show control. It translates motion, orientation, proximity, and light changes into reliable OSC messages that lighting consoles, media servers, and creative software can react to instantly.
No custom drivers. No vendor lock-in. Just real-world actions triggering digital cues.
Whether worn by a performer, embedded in a prop, or placed in a space, OSCall turns physical intent into show logic.
How It Works
OSCall connects to your network over WiFi and communicates using the Open Sound Control protocol (OSC). Built-in sensors detect movement, orientation, distance, and ambient light, then send OSC messages only when meaningful changes occur. Thresholds, timing, and OSC paths are fully configurable, keeping signals clean and show-safe.
OSCall integrates seamlessly with tools like QLab, TouchDesigner, Resolume, Max, and lighting consoles.
Features
OSCall is designed around the needs of live shows and installations, focusing on reliability, flexibility, and clean signal flow.
- Motion and orientation sensing (yaw, pitch, roll)
- Proximity detection for spatial interaction
- Ambient light and blackout detection
- Event-based OSC messaging with thresholds and timers
- Configurable OSC paths and network targets
- Wireless setup with fallback access point
- Keep-alive signals for show monitoring
Use Cases
OSCall fits naturally into workflows where physical actions need to trigger digital responses without adding complexity.
- Performer-worn controller triggering cues through movement
- Interactive props that respond to handling or proximity
- Set pieces that react to audience presence
- Lighting or media cues based on room state or blackout
- Physical triggers replacing buttons or foot pedals
- Rapid prototyping for interactive show concepts
Bring it on!
OSCall is built for designers, technicians, and artists who want physical interaction without fragile hacks. If you are interested in using OSCall in a show, installation, or custom project, or want to explore tailored hardware or firmware options, get in touch.
I am happy to walk through use cases, integrations, and next steps to bring it into your workflow.
