Pinch to Morph


Services
2D, Interactive
I got to play around with hand tracking—extracting the distance between my thumb and index finger as data and using it to create interactions. One of the coolest parts was using the pinch gesture as a trigger to change the filter’s color.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how to combine TouchDesigner with design tools. To explore that, I took a prototype of the hand tracking in action and reworked it in After Effects to see what’s possible. I also wanted to use finger joint points and lines as visual elements, so I experimented with layering effects using the Luma Matte technique.
