DILTER

Live Movement-Tracking | Public Installation | Image Pixelation

Individual Work

Timeline: November 2019 - December 2019 (3 weeks)

Made with: Software - PoseNet, P5.js, ML5.js, Adobe Illustrator.


| Opportunity

We were asked to develop a user interface on the web or mobile platform utilizing any machine learning models we covered during the class.

| Outcome

Delivered a machine-learning-driven interface that introduces the fundamental concepts of this technology to all-aged-groups, especially children.

DILTER is a movement-based interactive installation combined with generative art through P5.js. This interface applies Disney characters’ features to the user’s bodies. It experiments with live movement-tracking with the use of the ml5.js model PoseNet. With image pixel manipulation, it immerses users in a world of black-and-white animation. Through applying iconic Disney characters’ features, this project hopes to approach all-aged groups, especially children, with the fundamental concepts of machine learning technology in everyday life.

This was my first attempt at building an experience with live movement-tracking technology.

This successful experiment led me to continue further research on this topic for my capstone project.
