After some research I discovered that blob tracking (also called blob detection) refers to mathematical methods that detect regions in a digital image that differ in properties, such as color, brightness, etc. A "blob" is the region in the digital image in which the properties are constant or vary within a range of values. Basically blobs will probably look like blobs in a digital image. Blob detection is created and used to mimic real life movements and associate those movements with the computerized blob, so that the audience can see the relationship of movement.
Motion tracking is a lot easier than I thought it would be. When we first discussed this in class I was so confused because I thought this was something that would take years to learn how to do and yet with Isadora, we have the convenience of whipping up a quick motion tracking patch in under 20 minutes. My favorite thing about working with motion tracking is when I can slowly move my hand around a screen, and all the objects on the screen will follow my hand. This is the stuff that creates superb modern entertainment and is used at theme parks and big events all around. This is where the future is!
