This exercise demonstrates the control of a servo motor using TouchDesigner and the Firmata library in Arduino. The TouchDesigner project uses the webcam for motion tracking and the horizontal movement is sent to the servo motor to point towards where the movement is.
This is the 1st tutorial to connect an Arduino board to TouchDesigner with the standard Firmata library. It will use the audio output to trigger the on/off of an LED light.
This exercise uses the Leap Motion to control the source position of the particles system to achieve the effect of what Elsa did in ‘Let it Go’. The particles system is the GPU version from the Palette Browser.
This simple exercise uses the Leap Motion controller to interact with a 2D display in TouchDesigner. It tracks one finger to move along a circular shape on screen.
The exercise switches among a number of audio files to playback by pressing different keys in the keyboard. It is a simple version of a DJ controller. The graphics is the frequency spectrum of the sound.
This exercise uses the mouse movement to control the playback head of an external movie with TouchDesigner. Instead of using the mouse to touch virtual object in space, it uses the mouse to move back and forward in time.
This exercise explored the use of the MotionSense object in TouchDesigner to display two different pieces of text according to the motion detected in front of the webcam.
