I’m new to TouchDesigner and this is my first post in this forum. I discovered TD this week and I’m trying to learn the basics now.
In this project, I want to be able to track the feet of moving people in an area (using kinect) and then project footsteps behind them on the floor (traces). The kinect and projector will be used as a display to track the traces of people. traces should last for a period of time and then fade.
So please advise me in how can I start building this project. I’m a bit confused as the programming environment is completely new to me and have a limited time to finish this project.
Before you start programing I would highly recommend setting up the Kinect exactly how it will be placed during your instillation.
I’m assume you will be tracking from the top down, in which case you’ won’t use any of the Kinect CHOP date, only the IR camera feed for blog tracking.
With the blog tracking data you can instance the foot prints location and record them using a feedback TOP.
I am working on a similar project in which i need to track people’s feet and project an image onto the tracked feet. the image should move along with the moving feet of people. i have been trying to achieve the same using color blob tracking but it isnt giving me any accurate results.
can you please share how did you achieve this requirement? Did using kinect give you better results?
