ML Vision Projects - Hands-On Halloween Special

ML Vision Projects @ Denhac Halloween Theme
🗓 Monday, Sept 14th, 2025
🕘 5:30– 9ish PM
As usual: bring your project to get help, or jump in and help others. If you don't have a project no problem, someone will talk your ear off about theirs!
If you choose this week’s group build, it will focus on the Denhac Spooky Halloween Haunted House 🎃👻:

• YOLOv8 fine-tuning (yolov8.com) for custom object and class detection
• Applying transfer learning on a Halloween-themed dataset (hand gestures..., props, etc.)
• Fine-tuning on RunPod cloud GPUs, then optimizing inference for deployment across edge devices (laptops, phones, Raspberry Pis, iPads, etc.)
• Integrating detections with VPT projection mapping (nervousvision.com/VPT8documentation) to drive live visuals in the haunted house

Bring your own ML/vision projects, or help push forward the haunted house detector + projection mapping pipeline.
