AR Copy-Paste by Cyril Diagne
I actually remember seeing this project last year, and I think it’s so genius. Especially because I’m coming from the perspective of a designer, I’m interested in the types of interactions that are made possible with Deep Learning. After doing a little digging on Cyril Diagne, I realized they are also the person behind cleanup.pictures, which has the same kind of magic. It’s such a simple interaction from the user’s perspective, that is so intuitively what we’d want to do with technology: drag something we see through our camera in the real world, directly into screen world. To me, a project like this seems almost obvious after the fact, but involves noticing of the moments of frustration many (designers, in this case) have with technology but accept and put up with, and taking a step back to question whether there are actually ways around it.
