I found Golan Levin’s article, “Computer Vision for Artists and Designers: Pedagogic Tools and Techniques for Novice Programmers,” to be the most informative reading we have done so far. Levin’s exploration of the application of computer vision in art and design resonated deeply with me, and it left me pondering the pervasive impact of computer vision in our daily lives.
The historical perspective Levin provides with the example of the videoplace immediately captured my attention. It is crazy to think how deep the roots of computer vision run and how they have been intertwined with the development of virtual reality for decades. It’s intriguing to realize that the seeds of a technology so pervasive today were planted half a century ago. w
What struck me most was the broader implications of computer vision in our daily lives. Levin’s examples, while rooted in the world of art and design, made me contemplate the ubiquity of computer vision in the modern world. From facial recognition on our smartphones to the automation of industrial processes, computer vision is quietly shaping our interactions and experiences. It’s no longer a niche technology; it’s a fundamental part of our daily existence today.
