Touch Design
Create visuals that react to sound and movement using TouchDesigner.
Learn how to create interactive visual experiences using TouchDesigner, exploring the relationship between image, sound and movement. You’ll get to know the software interface, create real-time visual compositions and use audio and body data to develop audio-reactive and interactive visuals. By the end, you’ll be able to create your own visual systems and apply what you’ve learnt to design projects, audiovisual performances and interactive installations.
