Jellybender

Touch Designer Network

JellyBender is an interactive digital environment that reacts to mouse gestures, pressure sensitivity, and screen boundaries, allowing users to manipulate a fluid-like blue light.

CHALLENGES

Our initial plan was to integrate a Kinect sensor for full-body interaction, but the model we had was incompatible with TouchDesigner, causing workflow setbacks and forcing us to rethink our interaction system.

SOLUTION

We pivoted to strengthening mouse-based interactions, enhancing the responsiveness of the digital fluid and focusing on intuitive, on-screen movement. This resulted in a polished interactive experience without relying on external hardware.
