Feel Unease with the Cloud Mirror
The Cloud Mirror from eric gradman on Vimeo.
So says Eric:
Live video captured by a camera and is re-projected on the wall behind the camera, functioning like a “magic mirror.” But the CLOUD MIRROR software alters the images on the way to the screen. It runs an algorithm that tracks faces from frame to frame and also examines each frame for 2D barcodes printed on attendee badges. By pairing each face with a badge, and each badge id with a database row, the CLOUD MIRROR can identify by name whoever is standing in front of the installation.
It's very similar to this Squidder's video, but adds more ways to embarrass yourself and others. More (mostly technical) details can be found here, but in a nutshell it's based on ARToolKitPlus, OpenCV for face recognition, and lots of python.

Honestly, the whole idea of feeling uneasy with the Cloud Mirror is pretty relatable. There’s something about seeing yourself reflected in an unexpected way that can feel a little strange. I also think browsing rosefield boxy watch can be a fun distraction when you want to shift your focus and explore something more personal.
I can’t lie, the “Feel Unease with the Cloud Mirror” concept has such a strange but interesting vibe. It reminds me of those moments when something looks beautiful at first, but there’s still this tiny feeling that something isn’t quite right. That contrast makes the idea really memorable. It’s similar to how a Tape-In Extension can completely change someone’s look while still needing to feel natural and comfortable. Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference.
