Description:
WORK IN PROGRESS.
A interactive installation based on a dream I had.
Face Recognition Trigger
The main interaction of this project is for the subject to hide itself when the viewer is looking.
To do this I used a really simple mediapipe to integer value setup in Touchdesigner and then sent that out via OSC.
This demo has the value as intensity but in my more recent prototypes I only send out an on-off 1-0 value.
OSC Tester
I was having issues with Unreal not picking up my OSC signal. I (shamefully) vibecoded a small script to check my OSC output to ensure it was working.
IP Dilemma
I found that when running on one machine or multiple that in Unreal I needed to set the sending IP to 0.0.0.0 rather than whatever it actually was.
