My Year-Long Project to Make Anime Real
While I’ll likely be adding more detail about this in other posts, here are the slides for a presentation I delivered to CWRU’s Hacker Society in October of 2019 after I had finished up a year of trying, through the worker’s co-operative (of one member) Funktor Reactive, LLC, to make anime real “by turning the real into anime” through a mobile application leveraging deep convolutional neural networks. While the project didn’t exactly go as planned, it was a wildly educational experience, and now I have a multi-terabyte RGB-D database of human poses sitting on some hard drives with a great story to tell. Enjoy ^^
