Schedule

  1. Show and tell (things you made or found, look through Are.na)
  2. Set up a Development environment
  3. Coding basics: vectors, dist, lerp, atan2, beginShape, endShape (these are some generic creative coding tips that will be useful to incorporate with the Body Tracking tools we talk about.
  4. Body Tracking Workshop
  5. Open work time

Setting up a development environment

Coding workshop part 1: Face, hand and body tracking

Coding workshop part 2: Vectors, lerp, atan2, dist, push/pop

Homework

<aside> 📌 For this assignment, you will create an artwork that reimagines the way that facial landmarks are drawn in face detection. You will use creative coding to explore and experiment with shapes, motion, and color, while also considering the aesthetics of the output. You will use the facial landmarks (eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) as the starting point, and explore different ways to represent them in your artwork. Consider how to use shape, motion, and color to create an interesting and visually engaging output. You may use any creative coding language or library (such as p5.js, Processing, openFrameworks, etc.).

(y’all, the above was AI-generated with the prompt: write an assignment description for an artwork that reimagines how facial landmarks are drawn in face detection.)

<aside> ‼️ Pro Tips! Have a picture of a person (or multiple people) handy so you can test out multi-person detection.
