Kinect

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we look at how to use the Kinect in combination with TD and Ableton to create a simple interactive instrument. For now we're only using kick and snare but you can add more sounds and use different instruments as well.

My very first tutorial, ever! I hope you enjoy it ♥   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxB8eq4r88

Hello community!   i was watching this video posted by @Exsstas  https://derivative.ca/community-post/asset/3-templates-kinect-skeleton-visualization/63863 and suddenly I remembered I had to share another file.

In this tutorial we look at how to create a basic interactive particle system by using the Kinect v2 (works with Azure too), Optical Flow and particlesGPU. We especially have a closer look at the particlesGPU, so you can easily customize the look and behaviour of the particles to your needs.

I have always seen the Render Pick function, mainly used with the mouse. However, I have always wanted to control it with a Kinect and finally in the last months I came up with a personal solution that allowed me that!

Here is templates for three different approaches to visualize Kinect joints data: points, lines and metaballs with some custom parameters. In the video tuitorial I explained it in more details and share some ideas how you can use it later to create very different looking outputs.

Crystal Jow creates a fully generative scene that combines techniques like Rutt-Etra displacements, Kinect player index data, particles, noise, colour palettes, and more! It highlights how quickly you can put together interesting generative scenes in TouchDesigner.
