First week blogging!
I'm just doing it as a way to keep track of progress and help maintain focus, but it would still be nice if someone else reads it (and maybe gives suggestions!)
Context: I was watching a Just Dance video while on discord call with some friends and thought it would be really cool to have a Just Dance integration (maybe with a bot?)
I'm imagining a Just Dance video playing, everyone in call will have their video's turned on, and we can do a pose similarity test between any given discord user and the Just Dance character to score them accordingly.
Long-term ToDo (by priority):
- Make solution list for pose recognition
- Test a solution
- Simulate video user input
- Just Dance pose generation
- Analysis: Discord integration vs Standalone
- Research how to receive video input from user
- Research how to get Just Dance video output to user
- Discord: Bots can't share video
- User account for just dance input (scalable?)
- Create web or downloadable app for video?
- Test an implementation for getting video output to user
(2024-10-28) I'm wondering if its even possible to isolate this into a discord bot since there's no way I can scale up to be able to afford the compute to process multiple users worth of data. Right now, the plan is I make a secondary application which would link with the bot, allowing it to do video processing and comparison; This way, my servers would only serve as a middle point between their system and discord.
I do feel a bit like using discord in that context is more of a limitation than an asset, so I'll add doing an analysis on discord bot vs making an app to the ToDo list (I have a bad habit of second guessing and stopping halfway so will try to avoid that.)
Sorry first post is a bit cluttered, will work on making it cleaner next time :)
