Open CV's CEO Dr. Mallick is joining us in this open lecture for an AMA! Bring your questions :)
Ballee shows how playful experimentation and Computer Vision can inspire new forms of CV apps. It demonstrates OpenCV for Unity integration for vision tasks, including real-time object tracking and seamless interaction with the real world in Mixed Reality.
In this open lecture workshop, Christop will teach how to implement real-time ball tracking and integrate OpenCV with Unity! balltrackinggame.com
Takeaways for the audience:
🎯 Learn how to develop Computer Vision applications for emerging platforms such as smartglasses and wearables
🎯 Explore context-aware AI in real-world integration
🎯 Apply OpenCV in wearables to merge the real and virtual worlds
🎯 Implement prediction and smoothing for more natural first-person experiences
🎯 Understand why OpenCV for Unity is a powerful tool for real time tracking on Meta Quest
⚙️ Understand practical applications of OpenCV and physics-driven interactions in wearables
⚙️ Learn techniques for accurate, real-time object tracking in XR using OpenCV for Unity
⚙️ See how to implement prediction and smoothing to achieve more natural experiences
⚙️ Gain insights from early-stage, experimental XR AI development
Why this topic matters:
Bring Computer Vision to life - bridging physical and virtual world on wearables
Apply CV Techniques in 3D environments to create real world, context aware AI experiences
