A Weekend Introduction to TouchDesigner

Students got a hands-on introduction to TouchDesigner — the node-based software behind interactive installations and real-time visuals — building projects from the ground up, working with CHOPs, TOPs, POPs and COMPs, making visuals audio-reactive and driving them with body tracking via MediaPipe, and leaving with a working prototype of an interactive installation.
