About TouchDesigner

TouchDesigner allows both application engine and user interface to be built in one integrated environment. Create anything from simple functional prototypes right up to complete polished applications. Most applications require an interface, either technical or user-facing, to control the system. An extensive control panel feature set allows for custom interfaces and logic. Design a front-end UI to have any look or features you want. A full range of interactions are supported such as mouse-based or touch-screen control panels, control of 3D virtual environments, gestural inputs, and multi-person interactions. Experimentation and iteration are at the core of TouchDesigner’s design philosophy, making it one of the fastest and most flexible tools for rapid-prototyping. Installation and live shows are often not constructed physically until shortly before show time, but in TouchDesigner you can also build pre-visualizations of the project to experiment creatively.
