Of cause I don't know about the license agreements. But maybe you can ask thales, if you might keep a mirror on your download page?
I have sent the following message to Thales customer support.
I will let you know what I find out.

SUBJECT: SPORADIC "HIGH NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS" ERROR - END-USERS CAN'T DOWNLOAD DRIVERS
On the page at https://supportportal.thalesgr... when you click the link DOW0003350, some of our end users and multiple members of our team have received the following message.
"We have detected a high number of downloads in the last 24 hours. As a security measure, we have disabled your account. Please contact Thales Customer Support for assistance. You may reach us via the "Contact Us" link on the Support Portal home page, or the "Need Help With Login" link on the Login Page."
Our software is used for live theater, and the customer in question had an urgent need to install the USB Key Driver on a new machine. The problem was extremely frustrating for him.
This behavior has bene observed on both macOS and Windows operating systems and on a variety of browsers. The most frustrating thing about this error is that it is sporadic. For me personally, it never happened. But definitely did happen numerous times as the panicked user and our team as they attempted to get download the driver so he fully enable our software for his show.
Please look into this issue as soon as possible that our customers do not have to endure further frustration.
Sincerely,
Mark Coniglio
Luckily I grabbed them when they worked for me: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/73f94j95qke5248vwi2u7/h?rlkey=3qyhpo8jui3mdj9gb0km1r0u2&dl=0
@ril You can do some pretty good work with Isadora. You should start to play with these videos and see if you can make some visuals that react to them using Eyes++. You should track the moving objects you want to track. In my humble opinion, this is best done with an IR camera and IR lighting (and also best with an IR bandpass filter). Kinects are not great to use on stage; use a camera with SDI or HDMI out and convert it to SDI. A camera with interchangable lenses is best so you can adjust it to spaces as required.
After you have played with some of these videos and made some interactive material (you can edit the videos to create a set of scenes for a better kind of simulation), just imagine what you want to do.
What is the format of the projection - wall, floor, transparent layers? What do you want the visuals to be? What do you want them to react to?
Once you have a concrete scenario, you can start to solve the issues or ask specific questions one by one.
Thanks Fred for all your insights !
Your overhead recordings with the Kinect are tremendously helpful!
Clearly the question of interactivity/reactivity is one of the most difficult points because that involves other software besides Isadora?
The other situation that I don't know how to deal with (and what elements will be required) is the following: how to make any wall reactive? Is it through shadow tracking? Using Kinects in an overhead position is it possible?
Several people have already asked me about this type of immersive experiences and I am missing answers. And clearly it is a spectacle trend with greater demand.
I feel quite lost really.

Just made it back to the the theatre - and the download is busted again!
You still might be some more specific about the parameters you need to change.
Just an example about a setup value one could go with, could be a quad distort to map a screen on stage. For the setup of a projection, you might need to move the 4 corners of the stage output to the appropriate corners of the real screen.
There are several different methods to achieve this.
1. In the stage setup (not interactive)
2. using the 3D quad distort actor instead of the usual projector actor (interactive by using the coordination values for the stage corners.)
3. Publishing specific mapping points in the usual projector actor with izzy map (quad distort on steroids). Read the izzy map how to, about it. Specifically the Part
INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS
(PUBLISHING MAPPER PROPERTIES)
at the end of it.
This way, you can publish a lot of values, you would otherwise change in the stage setup.
@woland I agree with you, but in this case As a challange to myself I wanted to try to replicate the treatement and have the occasion to think mathematically. I'll try.

I also looked at @dusx's multi toggler which uses javascript, but it does not seem like a fit for this problem.
Just to provide a link to my Toggle User Actor, since it may be helpful to others that come across this thread: TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - DX – JS – Multi Toggle
