LilyGo T-Display S3 – ESP32 Motion capture system for Touchdesigner and IoT projects #motionsensor

Interactive media isn’t just about visuals..

It’s about creating a real-time dialogue between the digital and physical worlds.

Traditional setups force you into messy wiring, but what if one sleek board could replace the need for super expensive equipment?

Im experimenting with the ESP32S3, that has a built-in display, dual-core processing power, Wi‑Fi & Bluetooth.

(perferct to design a motion capture system that transmits sensor data)

By integrating sensors to capture motion with platforms like @touchdesigner, you can let a single gesture drive generative animations in real time.

This modular, approach is a game changer for interactive installations, smart home projects, and creative coding masterpieces.

I built an open-source system (that I call m+) that has:

🔹 Seamless data flow: Optimize hardware & data transmission for smooth, low-latency interactivity.

🔹 Modular design: One board, endless creative use-cases.. from IoT smart home projects to dynamic art installations or interactive dance perfomances.

🔹 Interaction as storytelling: Turn sensor input into living stories where motion is creating the narative.

How do you see sensor-driven practices changing the future of interactive experiences?
