Hey! In this tutorial, we'll go over how to use the real-time body tracking component I created for TouchDesigner.

Link to the No Kinect Website.

[Note] you can tack in a query parameter to your socket server by using ?wsURL=

eg. https://no-kinect.netlify.app/?wsURL=wss://our-socket-server.herokuapp.com:443 

This makes it easy to share a permanent URL to your phone.

You'll need a free login to https://github.com and https://heroku.com/. 

Link to the WebSocket Server.

Hey! It looks like the ChromaKey Component from the Pallette is broken in the current version of TD. I updated the component on the video, so it should work for you if you redownload it. I also have a bug reported on the TD forum. Looks like a fix should be coming out in the next release, so I'll add the video background cutout component back in once there's a fix. https://forum.derivative.ca/t/fixed-chroma-key-in-palette-crashing-td-2022-mac/288566
