(Here is an early draft of the infoCard for my VizClone exhibit at the tech.)
VizClone is a visual artificial intelligence experiment where a robot uses fuzzy logic to “focus” on an individual in the crowd and clone their image in real time 3D. Robot sees. Robot becomes. You shall see!
The Second Life implementation uses libsecondlife to scan avatars in the vicinity, a fuzzy logic algorithm to choose an avatar to focus on, and libsecondlife to grab their baked textures onto the “robot”.
The Real Life implementation may occur with either an array of cameras capturing the nearby people, and then a multimedia projector projecting on a blank 3d statue, or perhaps a hologram to create the clone.
