In this TouchDesigner tutorial we take a look how we can use webcam and Kinect as a  particle source in particlesGpu from the palette for some funky  interactivity, and learn some things about particlesGpu along the way.  These techniques can be used with any video or pointcloud input! We also  incorporate simple motion tracking and audio reactivity. Let me know if you'd like to see more particlesGpu tutorials from me!

A very useful tutorial, it's helped me wrap my head around ParticlesGPU. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting the performance window working. I'll try the tools wiki coz I think it's to do with how I installed the FunctionStore tools.
