Octi
iOS video app employs Computer Vision and Machine Learning to recognize full body forms to apply various effects, ranging from chromakey filters to gesture actions, and additional 3D characters that can imitate your movements:
Octi is an AI video platform that sees and understands humans in your videos, allowing you to do new, exciting things with your phone camera.
*Create custom, interactive stickers of you and your friends. Insert them in cool videos to share.

IMAGINATIVE
Telepresence art installation by H.O features two rooms, one with a display with eye-tracking interface to control a ceramic cup, the other a chromokey-suited robotic arm to carry out instructions from the former room:
What if our thoughts materialized as tangible actions in remote locations?
IMAGINATIVE is an installation work consisting of two rooms.
In the first, there is a monitor displaying a table with a cup in an empty room. Using a specialized (eye tracking / brain computer) interface, participants can telekinetically control the cup in the remote space. The shifting of the cup back and forth, poised in the air, expresses someone’s imagination in real-time.
In the second room, the audience will encounter an extraordinary spectacle. Sitting on the table is a green robot arm enabling the cup to move, while the floor surrounding the table is covered in broken cups.
Given that brain computer interfaces directly connect our “consciousness” with the external world, what does “imagination” mean? What is the “imagination” that we present to the world?
