The voronoi is just used to map the x,y coordinates to tiles that then map to images. Doesn't say how the images were selected and the finger coordinates mapped

The voronoi is just used to map the x,y coordinates to tiles that then map to images. Doesn't say how the images were selected and the finger coordinates mapped in the first place to generate that map.
- silentsea90 4y agoI assume it is done manually?
- naillo 4y agoIt's funny how many cool things could be created with just a few hours of manual labelling labor.
- PebblesRox 4y agoReminds me of a recent HN comment about the difference between mechanical and mathematical magic tricks. "A magician I know talks about the three kinds of magic: sleight of hand, mechanical, and mathematical. The first requires a lot of skill and practice (e.g., palming coins, manipulating cards). The second requires a lot of preparation and engineering (e.g., sawing a person in half, floating person illusions). The third relies on the nature of reality (e.g., dividing sets of cards in a known pattern that forces a result, or manipulating numbers that force an unexpected result)." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31924453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31924453
