The Design of Mandala and Chinese Medicine Five Tone SomaticHealing System Based on TouchDesigner and Comfy UI
Abstract— A body-sensing interactive healing system based on TouchDesigner and Comfy UI has been designed and implemented. By integrating traditional Chinese medicine's five-tone therapy, mandala pattern generation, Kinect body-sensing interaction, and heart rate monitoring technology, a multimodal sensory interaction platform for mental health intervention has been constructed. The system allows users to dynamically customize mandala patterns through the Comfy UI API, and then utilizes TouchDesigner to achieve real-time generation and three-dimensional particleization of the mandala patterns. It combines the audio features of traditional Chinese medicine's five tones with heart rate data to realize dynamic mapping of sound and images and physiological feedback regulation. The Kinect V2 sensor captures users' body-sensing movements, employing a "one-euro filter" to optimize joint-point acceleration detection, enhancing interaction accuracy. Research results indicate that the system uses dynamic mapping of mandala patterns and the five tones of traditional Chinese medicine, along with quantifying the healing effects through heart rate variability, providing a reusable technical framework for mental health intervention.
