With this TouchDesigner technique you can make surfaces touch-reactive. In this video, we'll process a Kinect 2 depth map to get position data out of it. This is very a useful trick if it's not possible to track people directly, and we'll show you an example of an installation using this technique.

What a clever kinect manoeuver, You could also place the filter after the switch instead of the sprinkle if you wanted it simple. Great tutorial !

There is no right answer here (and no perfect laptop, either): it really depends on your budget and needs. If you're just learning TouchDesigner, the right answer might be the laptop you already have -- there's a lot you can do without a high powered computer. Laptops tend to prioritize thinness or performance, usually not both. It's worth thinking about what your situation requires: a laptop that is lightweight and easily transportable, or a laptop that's really powerful and intended to be a desktop replacement? If you're looking to utilize the recent Nvidia Maxine series of operators, they require a 20, 30, or 40 series Nvidia RTX graphics card, so that could be a good place to start. Here are a couple of forum threads from that past few years that bring up some good considerations: forum.derivative.ca/t/equipment-recommendation/238970 forum.derivative.ca/t/2022-laptop-recommendation/253820 forum.derivative.ca/t/2022-laptop-3080-ti-or-3070-ti/259321
