VR+ML (Machine Learning), what can WE do today? v3!

Some of us tried (and failed) to use ML to recognize characters in VR cf https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/921991995152887808 . Well we could be sad about it and move on OR... or we could try again, together, by understanding what failed and learning how to do so properly!

To kickstart that process we'll use A-Frame + deeplearn.js https://deeplearnjs.org .

Feel free to do a quick check before via e.g. Machine Learning Intuitions for DeepLearn.js by Amir Hossein Rahnama at Nordic.js 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bwlH0j5rQk

Please note this NOT a workshop, we do not claim to be experts in ML for VR or vice versa, rather we are proposing to co-explore together the intersection of those 2 fascinating domains!

No expertise in VR or ML required but good knowledge of either of those is highly advised! Also mastery of at least one programming language and a laptop is highly encouraged if you want to actually build something.

In order to be granted access you NEED to RSVP via EventBrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/machine-learning-virtual-reality-co-learning-tickets-43229983043 thanks in advance for our great host DigitYser and your cooperation!
