Week 4 - Exquisite Corpse

For this assignment, I collaborated with Jacob and Himadri, who gave me some unique and bizarre images. Himadri gave me a picture of a dead bug, and Jacob gave me a picture of a weird creature with heels.

So I took their designs to photoshop, where I merged them. Once satisfied with the design, I began brainstorming about how creative I could get with the assignment.

I stumbled across a machine learning library called PostNet, which uses machine learning to identify various body parts using the webcam and gives major keypoints such as wrists, faces, arms, legs, etc. These kepoints can be used in any way possible in p5.

I attached both points of my character to the wrist points of PoseNet. So now, when you move your hands, the character moves too in the same orientation.

I loved working on this project. It allowed me to get playful and learn a lot of new stuff.
