Sandbox

experiments, tools I’m trying, and unfinished ideas.

interactive game where the player mixes RGB colors to match a target color on screen. five circles, each a different color — correct match triggers a visual reaction.

physical interface built with buttons, knobs, and RGB LEDs diffused through ping pong balls. the same color gets sent to a DMX fixture, so the room light changes with it.

goal was to get comfortable moving between TouchDesigner, Arduino, and DMX in one workflow. didn't finish the full game, but got some good surprises along the way.

hand tracking LED

hand tracking data from Kinect converted into LED count via TouchDesigner. simple, but satisfying to watch respond in real time.

LED strip via ArtNet

first test with TouchDesigner. ESP32 receives DMX data over ArtNet via Wi-Fi, controlling individual LED colors on a strip. rough, but the networked response was exciting to see work.
