TouchDesigner: Introduction to Interactive Design

Class Description:

Introduction to Interactive Design is a beginner-friendly course for those new to TouchDesigner. In this course, we will explore TouchDesigner’s capabilities and how it can be used for creative projects. We will start by learning the different inputs – including images, videos, 3D scans, geometric shapes, audio files, remote controls, keyboards, and webcams. All these inputs are processed in real-time, allowing us to create dynamic and interactive stackable elements.

As we progress, we will learn how to stack various elements together into networks. These networks are more than just technical structures but a methodology for creating artistic expression and crossovers between visual, audio, motion, and interactive elements. By the end of this course, each student will have a new tool set of design elements to stack into personal projects. This course is for anyone looking to dive into the world of interactive design and learn how to use TouchDesigner effectively.
