Watch Developer Control Bird in Unreal Engine with His Hand

Becoming a Disney princess in a game is not an idea of a distant future, it seems, as we might soon be able to interact with animals if the TouchDesigner experiments like the one developer Amirhosein Shabazadeh demonstrated continue.

Shabazadeh showed how he can control a bird in Unreal Engine with his hand using hand tracking. He utilized MediaPipe data from the visual development platform TouchDesigner and rendered it through Unreal Engine to get the bird to fly on and off the screen.
