Two teams from GlobalLogic got impressive results at Intel RealSense App Challenge, an international contest.
More than 1300 projects from all over the world participated in Intel RealSense App Challenge. There are a few Ukrainian teams among the winners and awarded participants, and two of them represent GlobalLogic’s Ukrainian offices.
Emma App (Emotional Decoration), a project developed by a team from GlobalLogic’s Kyiv office, won a second prize at Intel contest. Based on Intel RealSense camera, this app recognizes emotions, gestures and voices of users, changes video chat’s background simultaneously and adds thematic animation according to user’s current mood.
App development involved solving many challenging problems such as precise recognition of facial expressions, automatic identification of the main object in front of the camera, background selection etc.
Another project, Theatre of Shadows developed by GlobalLogic Mykolaiv team, was awarded with a Trailblazer Recognition award for the creation of an innovative demo that pushed the boundaries of human-computer interaction.
This gaming app recognizes hands in front of the camera and displays their virtual “shadows” on a screen, turning them into animated characters. Although it seems simple, the project took significant efforts in development. The reason is that the standard API of the camera does not provide good recognition of fingers put together and gestures typical for the theatre of shadows.
‘For this reason we decided to use the options which are well-developed, such as foreground selection (hands, actually) with a depth camera,’ Kyrylo Gerasymenko, Theatre of Shadows developer, says.
