Relate
Start your relationship with the collection. Discover hundreds of artworks from across the collection through engaging, personalized interactives. These innovative, touchless experiences invite exploration across cultures and time periods. Compare and connect with art through movement, observation, and play.
Art Mirror
See a reflection of yourself made from pieces of art. As you move in front of our digital mirror, it dynamically composes a portrait of you using artworks from the CMA’s collection that move and change with you.
How does it work? This photo mosaic interactive repurposes a CLD compression algorithm (typically used for shrinking images), to find and match colors and compositions from artworks in the museum’s collection to create your mirror image in art—some of which you may not have had the chance to see before!
Art in Arms Reach
How big is that painting really? Browse our collection at scale by holding your arms apart and seeing art that fills the space. Move your hands farther apart or closer together to see matching artworks that fit the size of your gestures and discover which works are so large they barely fit in your outstretched arms.
How does it work? A digital mirror uses the collection’s dimensional metadata along with body tracking to power the experience. This interactive uses a Femto Mega depth camera to capture your body’s movement in 3-D. RTMPose, a state-of-the-art machine learning pose tracker, tracks the distance between your hands in real time. That distance is then matched with artworks from the museum’s collection based on their actual size, allowing you to “hold” priceless artwork in your hands at their true scale.
Hand Model
What can you say with your hands? Use hand gestures to explore detail. Using advanced motion tracking, the positions of your fingers and hands are dynamically matched to similar depictions in artworks, putting the collection in the palm of your hand. Try different gestures to explore our collection.
How does it work? This interactive uses a Femto Mega depth camera to capture your body in 3-D. It combines OpenCV (a computer vision tool) and RTMPose (a machine learning pose tracker) to track your hand in real time, turning your hand gestures into input for finding your artwork match!
Strike a Pose
Explore the connection between movement and emotion. Strike a pose and discover an artwork that matches your movement and expression. With responsive pose and figure matching capable of tracking multiple people simultaneously, this experience analyzes your poses to reveal the closest matching figures in artworks across collection. Invite a friend and see how creative you can be.
How does it work? This interactive uses a Femto Mega depth camera to capture your body pose in 3-D. It combines OpenCV (a computer vision tool) and RTMPose (a machine learning pose tracker) to track your whole body in real time—turning the poses you strike into input for finding your artwork match!
