AI MOCAP animation
Richard Yee is a visual designer and creative developer based in New York. Next month he will teach a course at Type@Cooper titled AI Motion Capture for Designers, where one “will learn how to create real-time video effects using face, hand, and pose detection.”
For the header graphic, Yee made an animation showing a wireframe hand defined by tracking markers. The typeface used for the abbreviated title is Tilt Prism, designed in 2020 by Andy Clymer (who was exploring facial recognition in typography already in 2011). Based on prismatic lettering, this caps-with-small caps typeface is part of a series of variable fonts that have the ability to simulate rotation in multiple directions.
Via Colin M. Ford, who comments:
Could there be a MORE PERFECT use of @andyclymer’s Tilt typeface than this @coopertype course?
Still from the animation: thumbs up!
Still from the animation: V as in … variable fonts!
Still from the animation: see you at Type@Cooper!
