Great! But I had the first issue!! https://github.com/torinmb/mediapipe-touchdesigner/issues/35#issue-1906853027

This might be a silly question, but I am wondering if this works with depth cameras such as Kinect V2. The reason I am asking is that the installation for trying to build is in the dark. If I use a regular webcam, the visual information won't register.

Hey! I haven't tested it out personally, but in theory it should still work with a black and white texture that you get from an infrared camera

Thanks Tori! This has been a lifesaver for me. I bought the Orbbec Gemini 2 camera thinking I could do skeleton tracking in TD on Mac M1, and when that did not work, thought I'd bought the wrong depth camera. I've got everything up and running now thanks to your Mediapipe .toe.
