In this video, we'll create small, interactive candle effects on Arduino and go over an introduction of interfacing TouchDesigner with Arduino over Serial. We'll begin by setting up a basic connection between Adafruit Circuit Playground Express, and end with creating content in TouchDesigner that can be mapped to the onboard LEDs of the Arduino.
Last month we paid a visit to MIT Media Lab to see what David Robert had been up to since arriving in Cambridge last summer following 10 years at Side Effects Software. David who has produced innovative work with Houdini and TouchDesigner had A LOT of new work to show and tell.
'Perception of Consequence' is an installation by Kamil Nawratil that places a custom-fabricated wave-like structure within the space as a 3D surface for the stereoscopic projection of fluid form animations (pictured above).
