White Glove Tracking

Thursday, May 03 2007

Evan and I just put out a new project called White Glove Tracking. From the site:

There are 10,060 frames of video in Michael Jackson's 5 min 35 sec nationally televised landmark performance of Billy Jean. The White Glove Tracking project (W.G.T.) is an effort to isolate just the white glove from this moment in pop-culture history. Rather then write unnecessarily complex code to find the glove in every frame of the video I am asking for the assistance of 10,060 individual internet users to simply click and drag a box around the glove in one frame.

Help us out! It's a surprisingly addictive process. Get started loggin' frames.

Big thanks to Eyebeam and Rhizome for the support!
