Until just a few months ago, live broadcasts seemed to be the height of content fever on video In fact there came to be a whole competition between different applications that allowed share on everything the user did live and live At the end Periscope and Facebook Live They have retained the bulk of the users, but continue working to improve the serviceIn fact, the latter is making important advances to give the concept a twist. What's new: using artistic filters during live And no, we're not just talking about using a simple layer of coloron the image.
Users of artistic applications will be well acquainted with Prisma It's about of a tool that has surprised the world thanks to its possibilities when it comes to transforming photographs and videos into true works of art, as if they were really paintings and not digital images. This application has evolved rapidly from the starting point in the that you could only retouch images by uploading to their servers to study and transform them into strokes, to recent updates on which it is possible to do the same with videos and from the mobile itself without connection.Now he goes a step further and fully immerses himself in the Facebook broadcasts
It does this in a limited but effective way Thus, only mobile users iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 You can now access the live broadcasts of pictorial works of art For this you need to use the application Prisma and sign as user with Facebook account data.
With all this done, all that remains is to go to Facebook and start a broadcast Then, several of the common Prisma filters are available at the top of the screen to change the scene. From a realistic image to strokes that could well be drawn with a brush. From true-to-life colors to color ranges that blend into their own ensemble or that completely alter the scene as it would appear with the eyes.All this live and direct.
At the moment, only the technical capacity of the latest iPhone is capable of moving the entire mechanism that this function requires, although those responsible of Prisma have already announced their intention to bring this feature to the most powerful phones on the Android platform.
Coffee to go
However, and although Prisma has been brought forward, Facebookhe's also working on his own artistic filters for live shows In fact, he's already shown how it could produce an effect very similar to what he's achieved Prism
The idea is to use Artificial Intelligence that studies and recognizes the real image to recognize the elements and apply filters on them.The good thing is that all this does not require an Internet connection thanks to the framework that you have already included in your mobile applications , both on Android and iOS Thus, and using deep machine learning, all work would be done locally, aftertrain several models to learn how to change a real element to a stroke, either in photographs and videos before publishing, or in live broadcasts Of course, the intentions ofFacebook is to go far beyond pretty filters, being able to detect and recognize what happens in the scenes for much more widespread practical applications. A technology that in Facebook call Caffe2go (coffee to go) and that is currently being testing in Ireland Coming soon to United States and, of course, the rest of users from all over the world.For now we have to wait.
