I'm trying to setup a project similar to Firewall (

 I have a spandex wall with a Kinect behind it tracking your hands when you press into it. I'm using Zachary Seldess' Kinect Blob Tracker patch (

I'd really like to add some interactive visuals to it, such as particles swirling around the location of your hand, but I am a bit overwhelmed finding out where to begin. I assume jitter is the right place to start but I would really love some suggestions. Are there any sample patches that would do something similar? I want to track where the hands are and project something that moves with them. Can you guys suggest a good place to start? Be it objects to use, similar patches, anything? I'm running through all the Max tutorials now, but if you guys could point me in a good direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much.
