Huia is a Design & Tech Studio from Brazil and also the name of a rare and extinct bird from New Zealand. This project uses Artificial Intelligence and 3D to digitally recreate an interactive Huia. Using computer vision we capture webcam images to understand the user's pose in real time and react with fun actions.
Read my medium article about this project to learn about all the details necessary to build an artificial intelligence experience on the browser from end-to-end.
These are the poses the Huia responds to
Me trying out the experience at an event and having fun!
