Interactive Particles with Slamtec LiDAR | TouchDesigner Tutorial (Part II)

This is the second video in a 3-part series on using the Slamtec RPLidar A1 to create interactive visuals in TouchDesigner. This time, we’re setting up the lidar, calibrate it, and process data stream to get the touch coordinates.

I tried to keep the tutorial short and to the point, so I couldn’t go into every detail of why I do certain things. So, if you have any questions regarding building this network, feel free to ask in the comments!

Have fun!:)
