Send OSC

This node sends OSC messages to a specified address. The messages can be a number, string, or an object.

To see if the right messages are being sent, use the free Protokol app.

Send OSC + Landmark Detection

There is a special mode for sending landmark detection data from pose, hand, or face detection nodes. When connecting the output of a Detect Pose, Detect Hands, or Detect Face node to this node, it will send out all individual landmarks as separate messages.

Message Format

Messages are formatted as: /address/entityIndex/landmarkName

For example, if the address is /landmarks and detecting a pose, the messages will be:

/landmarks/0/nose 0.35431 0.24342 0.23423478 0.9823
/landmarks/0/left_shoulder 0.25431 0.34342 0.13423478 0.9523

The entity index allows tracking multiple detected entities (multiple people, hands, or faces). The values sent are x, y, z, and visibility (confidence that the landmark is visible).

Landmark Filter

Use the Landmark Filter parameter to specify which landmarks to send. By default it sends everything (*). The filter supports:

• Named landmarks: right_shoulder, left_shoulder
• Wildcards: *_shoulder (matches all shoulders), left_* (matches all left-side landmarks)
• Numeric indices: 0, 5, 10 (useful for face landmarks)
• Numeric ranges: 0-20, 50-100 (useful for face landmarks)

Pose Landmarks

Here is the full list of pose landmarks:

nose,
left_eye_inner, left_eye, left_eye_outer, right_eye_inner, right_eye, right_eye_outer,
left_ear, right_ear, mouth_left, mouth_right,
left_shoulder, right_shoulder, left_elbow, right_elbow,
left_wrist, right_wrist, left_pinky, right_pinky, left_index, right_index, left_thumb, right_thumb,
left_hip, right_hip, left_knee, right_knee,
left_ankle, right_ankle, left_heel, right_heel, left_foot_index, right_foot_index

Hand Landmarks

Here is the full list of hand landmarks:

wrist,
thumb_cmc, thumb_mcp, thumb_ip, thumb_tip,
index_finger_mcp, index_finger_pip, index_finger_dip, index_finger_tip,
middle_finger_mcp, middle_finger_pip, middle_finger_dip, middle_finger_tip,
ring_finger_mcp, ring_finger_pip, ring_finger_dip, ring_finger_tip,
pinky_mcp, pinky_pip, pinky_dip, pinky_tip

Face Landmarks

Face detection provides 468 landmarks using numeric indices (0-467). Use numeric filters to select specific regions. For example:

• 0-20 for the face outline
• 33, 133, 362, 263 for eye corners
• 50-100 for a specific facial region

Parameters

• IP: The IP address or host name of the machine to send to.
• Port: The port to send to.
• Address: The OSC address to send to. This should start with a /.
• Landmark Filter: Filter which landmarks to send. Supports named landmarks, wildcards (*), numeric indices, and ranges. Default is * (send all).
