Body → Machine → Art: Real-Time Interactive Installations Anyone Can Build
Kinect/MediaPipe body tracking + TouchDesigner + Unreal Engine = interactive art installations that respond to human movement. Previously needed a studio budget; now runs on a gaming laptop.
Kinect · MediaPipe · TouchDesigner · Unreal Engine
Try It — Action Sketch
MediaPipe for body tracking (free, runs on webcam) → pipe data to TouchDesigner → drive visuals in Unreal or project with a $200 projector. Gallery-quality interactive art for under $500 in hardware.
Prerequisites: Webcam, TouchDesigner (free for non-commercial), projector ($200+), laptop with decent GPU

DATA CONTROL — Kinect + TouchDesigner + Unreal scientific viz
@pala3d's 'DATA CONTROL' project: real-time visualization of NASA/CERN datasets as particle systems, body-controlled via Kinect through TouchDesigner into Unreal Engine. Pipeline explicitly human-made, no AI. Reference for data-viz/creative-coding stack.
MediaPipe TouchDesigner plugin by @blankensmithing
@neles0n trying the MediaPipe plugin by @blankensmithing inside TouchDesigner. Useful pointer for anyone doing body/hand tracking in TD creative-coding pipelines.
