This tool facilitates direct GPU-to-GPU (zero-copy) data transfers\, optimizing the integration of AI technologies with TouchDesigner\, especially for frameworks like PyTorch and Nvidia Warp. TouchPy’s development responds to the challenges of swiftly incorporating complex Python-based AI into TouchDesigner. \n\n\n\nIn this masterclass\, Keith and Idzard will walk through installing and configuring TouchPy for a particular machine\, installing and importing Python packages that implement generative and inference models\, and integrating the packages with TouchDesigner. \n\n\n\nFor the TouchPy masterclass\, attendees should have a basic understanding of Python and TouchDesigner. Attendees will not need to bring a computer. \n\n\n\nAfter the masterclass you are invited to stay at the Spatial Media Lab\, grab a drink and maybe even hold a presentation of your own. The stage will be open for everyone to present\, as several desks with screens invite to share knowledge in smaller groups. \n\n\n\nThe Space will be open until the late evening\, drinks are provided as are small snacks. \n\n\n\nSpatial Media LabAn d.
