I turned my monitor into a touchscreen | TouchDesigner Tutorial Part I

This is the first video in a 3-part series on using the Slamtec RPLidar A1 to create interactive visuals in TouchDesigner. In this part, we’re focusing on building a particle system controlled by mouse input. We’ll cover the rest in the next parts which I’m going to post in a few days.

I tried to keep the tutorial short and to the point, so I couldn’t go into every detail of why I do certain things. So, if you have any questions regarding building this network, feel free to ask in the comments!

Have fun!:)
