Arduino & TouchDesigner: Real-World Sensors and Interactive Graphics.

A collection of experiments I did during lockdown mixing TouchDesigner and Arduino together. Procedural and real time graphics can be controlled by the user with different programmed sensors. I've also 3D printed a couple of cases in order to keep the components together.

#1 Interactive Particles Controlled by Ultrasonic Sensors

Components: Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, HC SR-04 Sensors, 3D Printed Case

Live Parameters: Opacity + Size
