Google's ML team really nailed it. There are lots hand/head/eye tracking demos made with mediapipe.

I recommend checking out The Poet Engineer: https://x.com/poetengineer__

Indeed it was[0]. Give the latest models a try. They're a major leap from just six months ago.

I would like an explanation of what I am looking at :) it’s pretty cool but I don’t understand it
Nuzzerino•11h ago
It’s okay to look at things as art. Not everything needs to be explained to have value.
ramoz•10h ago
What's strange is I just saw a TikTok video in my Waymo earlier.

"a perfect explanation of quantum tunneling"

It was a baseball game. A pitcher had thrown a pitch, and there was some optical illusion of the ball appearing to go through the batter's swing. It looked like the ball went through the bat. Apparently this is quantum tunneling. The atoms aligned perfectly and the ball passed through.

ramoz•10h ago
Yeah, I hate to ask, but I need to know if an AI coded this. Very well done.
culi•10h ago
Nothing in the source code suggests AI was used

Great visualization! What part of this project was the hardest to get “right” (math, overall aesthetic balance, etc.)?
