Had a blast setting up and presenting The Living Room, an interactive installation specially created for London Design Week. Utilizing TouchDesigner alongside computer vision models, we implemented pose detection to track participants' movement and position in real-time. The installation dynamically responds, prompting visitors to engage with their surroundings in a way that balances activity and rest.

Implementing Computer Vision with Touchdesigner

One of my main interests lately is the great power Computer Vision models have to enable spatial interaction in spaces. Since the release of Kinect-like cameras, artists and designers have used pose tracking models for interactivity. But with the recent wave of AI models, hardware requirements to carry out these operations have practically disappeared.

Today, a simple home monitoring camera is enough to carry out complex scene understanding operations such as pose, face and gesture detection, or time-consistent video segmentation.
