What was the driving aspect of the character design?
The driving aspect was that the characters would not look cliché, which in this case means that the characters, when viewed, would not trigger a connection to popular IP.
How many characters do you plan to implement for your project?
We plan to have three character trajectories with a total of nine different body parts: three heads, three torsos, and three legs.
What changes or drives the story?
The three heads will be the main component of driving the animation that the character goes through, with the torso and the legs affecting the way the character interacts with the world slightly.
How does the application recognize objects?
The app takes an image from the camera and processes it through the machine learning model and receives the result.
What is the future direction of the project?
The project after this semester will build off the work we have created this semester to eventually add more content, allow for public content creation and implementation, and for the application to be used in a more global setting.
