The Wekinator is free, open source software created in 2009 by Rebecca Fiebrink with the ability to connect easily to dozens of other creative coding tools and sensors. It allows anyone to use machine learning to build new musical instruments, gestural game controllers, computer vision or computer listening systems, and more. The Wekinator allows users to build new interactive systems by recognising human actions without writing programming code:
Learn how to leverage Wekinator within your own createive projects to derive simple control data from complex human interactions. Understand how to integrate various data sources, whether it’s sensors, cameras, microphones or music to regognise patterns and reduce complex actions to simple commands without expert knowledge in machine learning or openCV.
The first part of the course will give you an understanding of the use cases of Wekinator, how it works and how to integrate diverse inputs and train machine learning algorithms to recognise human gestures, facial expressions or sounds and send the results to any software that understands OSC.
In the second part we will look at a practical yet simple example to understand how to use Wekinator alongside vvvv, TouchDesigner and other programs to add intuitive, humand centered interaction to your projects.
