Google's goofy Move Mirror AI Experiment matches your poses to photos
Google's AI Experiments are fun ways for the company to show off its advances in machine learning while also collecting additional data to further its research. It's got a new one out today: Move Mirror watches you move through your computer's webcam (with permission, that is) and uses AI trickery to match your pose against a database of tens of thousands of photos.
The Experiment uses a machine learning model called Posenet, which recognizes the overall position of a human subject by analyzing and adding up where different parts and joints are in a photo or video. Your position is analyzed in real time and compared to a set of 80,000 photos. Move Mirror shows the closest match to each of your positions, stringing them together in a slideshow.
With #MoveMirror, you move and 80,000 images move with you. Play around with the latest from #AIExperiments and share your moves with a GIF → https://t.co/T5BF2ISsZs pic.twitter.com/TlPHsnqxgr

The result is a sort of janky video of different people acting out your movements. You can even make a GIF out of it. Head over to the Move Mirror experiment page to try it out for yourself.
