TD- Silhouette

Day 42

This sketch is an iteration of the Kinect interaction. Using player index on the Microsoft Kinect I can generate a silhouette shape of the user. I also explored how to gain data tracking of the hands to generate an effect.

In this example, users can dance and trigger a particle effect. The mask of the user is also audio-reactive with a filter effect.
