Motion Tracking for the body and AI
Body tracking is a new technology that helps to track the movement of people, and can be used in the creative industries such as film and gaming to make animation and movement as realistic as possible.
However, during my time studying my module "Digital Media and the Senses", I started to question how accurate this body tracking may be, and even if AI may be more biased against some people than others. This also made me question points regarding the purpose of these technologies, such as how body tracking would track the movements of people with physical disabilities who need technology such as wheelchairs to move.
The aim of this project is to track these ideas using AI motion capture and learn about any potential biases within the application. After this, I aim to use AI such as Teachable Machine to examine how AI can recognise different elements and motions to discover and theorise about how AI could potentially overcome these biases. Furthermore, I aim to look into technological development and theorise a prototype of different technologies that could be used to overcome these biases.
