About

ML Buddha

Read full description

ML Buddha is a tribute to Nam June Paik's TV Buddha. Using a machine learning model trained to recognise images of Buddha, the app prompts the user to find one such image. When found, the front camera is turned on, and a peaceful melody is played, for as long as the Buddha is on sight.
