YOLO(fast object detection) algorithm + HTML + Javascript
Transforming an IRL viewing experience into a collective URL experience.
We are in an ubiquitous technology life and the boundary between online and offline is disappearing. Social media, live streaming, real-time reality show are constantly breaking this boundary too. For so many people, the concept of digital life or physical life does not exsist because it is the same.
Ever since we have computer and internet, cursors became symbols for browsing, digitally. In this experiment, I used AI to detect human figure and replaced it with cursors. Each cursor on the screen represents the physical presence of one person in front of the screen watching the video.
