Your hands paint a glowing aura

Your camera picture becomes a glowing gradient aura, and your moving hands heat it: the colours slide up the palette, leave a trail and smear through the picture like video feedback. The download is one ready network, camera to effect. Kristina Karpysheva made Hand Radiant together with Claude.

Take out_hands from the twozero Hand Tracking rudiment and my mirrored camera, and build a TouchDesigner effect where my hands paint a glowing aura. Push the picture through a wrapping gradient palette, read from a mix of the sharp and the blurred picture so the colours bleed into halos around every shape. Where a hand moves, leave a heat trail that slides the colours up the palette and then cools down, and let the image of the hand smear into lingering video-feedback copies. Give me a menu of palettes, and one rubber-stretch look with a tracking HUD.
