This workshop will begin with an introduction that addresses the various sensing technologies and input devices currently available to artists and designers. Then we will focus specifically on I-CubeX sensor technology.

In this hands-on workshop participants will learn how to add sensors to a TouchDesigner project, using an I-CubeX kit (provided by Infusion Systems). Using their own kits participants can apply instructions to make their Arduino or Raspberry Pi compatible with I-CubeX technology. Attendees will learn the capabilities of I-CubeX including what the sensors can capture and how they can be applied, how to set-up a number of sensors and prepare them for use with TouchDesigner, and how to route and apply sensor messages in TouchDesigner.

A number of examples that show the application of sensors in a TouchDesigner project will be available for participants to try out. Participants can also work on specific sensing needs for their own project. All I-CubeX products will be available to participants to try out during the workshop.
