TouchDesigner | Realistic Pond with Interactive Refraction Effects

For this project I created a realistic water simulation that uses instancing, webcam, and MediaPipe for the interactive water/reflection effects. The ideal installation will be sitting on the floor; whenever users peak into the screen they will see their reflections. Together with hand movements, the water will also move in realistic manners to mimic refractions and disturbances.

The tutorials I referenced are:
– exsstas: Water ripple effect (TouchDesigner tutorial)

– Owsley Wylyfyrd: 2D Particle Systems (Fluid Simulation) in Touchdesigner
