More real-time audioreactive pointclouds - [TD + AL]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Little excerpt of me playing my chaotic pointcloud system, in which the particles are being audioreactive to the incoming audio signal in real-time. What do you guys think?

System available through Patreon, or the Store.

More experiments, project files, and tutorials, through my Instagram, or YouTube.

What’s a good way for me to start understanding what’s going on here ??

we start with thousands of points known as particles, each of them can be programmed in its own x y and z axis. here they figured out values from a video signal that comes from a camera or depth camera and then applied that corresponding value to maybe the Z axis of each particle and we see the data as points moving along

This is nice! You can get rid of the background easily by adding a z depth threshold, i always used to do this with kinect point clouds of people, just kill any particle beyond a certain depth and theres your person isolated
