Hey y’all,

I’m trying to superimpose bodies detected by different webcams onto the same canvas, creating a sort of superorganism. The prototype is built with p5.js, ml5.js, React (thanks @atoro), and Meteor. The interaction works on a single device, but no luck on synchronization across the net yet.

[GitHub](https://github.com/nickmcintyre/lookforus)

Anybody experienced with Meteor pub/sub? I also had trouble integrating a custom build of ml5.js to use the new [BodyPix](https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs-models/tree/master/body-pix) model.

Thanks!

Nick

Turns out subscribing is a big deal in pub/sub 🤣
