Hand Tracking Master Class in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe
Added 2025-02-18 18:30:15 +0000 UTCI'm so excited to launch this three-part Master Class on Hand Tracking in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe π. Iβve taken insights from my Genuary artworks (a 30-day generative art challenge in January) and distilled them into a series of tutorials. This course will help you create your own interactive artworks and even extend hand tracking to build custom interfaces.

- MediaPipe Plugin for TouchDesigner
- Previous MediaPipe Tutorial (Full breakdown of tracking features)
The MediaPipe plugin for TouchDesigner is co-created by myself & Dom Scott

Thank you all so much for the support! It means so much to me and makes it possible to create resources like this. It's been so inspiring to see what you all have been creating using MediaPipe! Looking forward to seeing what you create next! π

2025-02-25 19:02:38 +0000 UTCI reached out to Dom Scott, the other MediaPipe creator, and he implied that only 2 hands can be supported. There are some other libraries (a bit more technical) that run in python like rtmlib and sports2d which do support multiple body tracking that I'm gonna look into for my use case. In terms of TouchDesigner, Dom also recommended looking into the Body CHOP plugin, though he cautioned that the hand tracking isn't as good as with MediaPipe

2025-02-25 17:56:13 +0000 UTCIs there a way to enable hand tracking for more than 2 hands? If not, is this feature planned for the future? Just getting into MediaPipe, coming from the Kinect world in Unity.
