Vibing Vision: how we built a pose tracking art installation in two weeks
summary
A pose‑tracking festival installation gets built in two weeks using on‑device models and runs live at Lost Paradise; the pipeline uses OAK‑D cameras, DepthAI, OpenCV chessboard calibration and an Ultralytics YOLO pose model, debugging with Claude Code to generate tests and visualisers. Two cameras, depth‑map holes and sync jitter create surprising failure modes, a pragmatic per‑tile averaging fixes geometry, and the 16‑tile dance floor actually works and ships in a Toyota Hilux.
