TouchDesigner: Gesture Drawing

I wanted to explore using hand gestures with my Kinect, but like all great interactive designers, I had no desire to create an entire interactive project from scratch. Also, there was sudden interest in bringing in an interactive projection project to the Athens Makers club going on during the summer here in Athens, Ohio. Thus began the project that was an adaptation and/or update of a previous project, adding drawing capabilities to body tracking with the good ol' MoCap stick figure thingy.

 

The Feedback TOP was my go-to. And worked. I had planned to use instancing to make the copies of the SOP based stick figures, but quickly realized, even though I could change the position of the copies independently, I wasn't able to attach the skeleton to different bodies detected. If anyone has a solution for that, please share.
