This is a major infrastructure update that primarily provides improved camera support and configuration options on all platforms as well as some internal tweaks that improve the overall performance. This includes a multithreaded thresholder, an accelerated background subtractor as well as a quicker and less tedious calibration procedure.

Binaries for Windows, Mac OS X and several Linux platforms can be downloaded from SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reactivision/files/reacTIVision/reacTIVision-1.5/

It is recommended to use the 64bit build for Mac OS X 10.8 or later, which provides better performance and camera support. The 32bit binary for Mac OS X is a legacy build for Intel 32bit processors on Mac OS X 10.5 or later, which supports older cameras such as the PS3 Eye.
