Gesture-Controlled Robot Arm
Engineering a real-time control system for a 4-DOF robotic arm, translating hand movements into precise motion using Leap Motion, TouchDesigner, and OpenFrameworks.
Responsive Kinetic Paneling
Prototyping a dynamic architectural ‘skin’ inspired by biomimicry, using an Arduino and a dual-sensor system to automatically vent an enclosed space.
Kinetic Rotating Sculpture
Designing an accessible STEM education kit that uses LEGO Technic to teach the core principles of mechanical engineering through a continuously moving sculpture.
Scalable Multi-Servo Control
Developing a versatile and scalable system for programming multiple hobby servos with TouchDesigner and Arduino/ESP32, shared as a popular open-source resource on GitHub.
Responsive Digital Signage
A design concept for energy-efficient public signage that uses proximity sensors to intelligently switch between an ambient generative art mode and a useful information mode.
Generative Impressionism
An interactive art installation that transforms static paintings into living, fluid artworks, allowing viewers to influence the visuals with their movement via a Kinect sensor.
Generative Particle System
An exploration in creating dynamic visual systems by evolving a static 3D model into a complex particle system, recognized and shared by the official TouchDesigner Instagram account.
GLSL Vertex Displacement
A research project into procedural 3D modeling, using custom GLSL shaders in TouchDesigner to displace the vertices of a sphere based on an input image’s color data.
