Interactive Eye Projection with Webcam or Kinect – TouchDesigner Tutorial 009

In this TouchDesigner tutorial, you learn how to create an interactive projection, where an eye follows people passing by. I use a webcam and the bodytrackCHOP to track persons, but you can also use a Kinect or other data like mouse cursor position, noise or any other object.

With free AI image generation tools like Bing Image Creator, you can create your own texture, I used PromeAI: https://www.promeai.com/?vsource=i_8fr8d0f2m7

On my Patreon you find animated textures and the project files of all my tutorials: https://patreon.com/reflekkt
