LIVE SIGNALS & AI PERSONALIZATION
What you’ll master
· Ingesting live data (REST/WebSocket), OSC/MIDI, and sensor bridges—with validation, debouncing, and smoothing.
· Using text/voice intent and vision cues (pose/face/gesture) to drive behavior; prompt-to-parameter mapping with safe defaults.
· Binding inputs to TouchDesigner parameters and preset morphs for responsive 60fps feel.
Deliverable
· Connect 1 public API + 1 local signal (Data Hook) and map 3 phrases → visual presets (Prompt-to-Param).
MULTI-USER SYNC & BEHAVIOR DESIGN
What you’ll master
· Authoring finite-state behaviors with timers, thresholds, cool-downs, personalization, and safe states.
· Designing rooms/sessions with authority and heartbeats; latency budgets with interpolation/extrapolation.
· Recording sessions for replay and analysis.
Deliverable
· Run a Sync Test (2 clients share one parameter in a room) and submit a Behavior Sheet (4 states + transitions).
OPS, RELIABILITY & DEPLOYMENT
What you’ll master
· Building operator UIs: Start/Stop, Preset Recall, Emergency-Stop, status indicators, and remote control panels.
· Holding frame rate: profiling, caching/pooling, LOD/bypass strategies, stress/soak tests.
· Packaging for kiosk/web with auto-start; logging & dashboards; iteration loops from analytics.
Deliverable
· Deploy Check: packaged build + log screenshot, with a 6-action Ops Panel and a 60fps Audit excerpt.
