Public engagement: knowledge exchange
• Camera Obscura is a museum
of visual science in Edinburgh
• We have recently worked with
them to install a new exhibit
based on computer vision
techniques: a magic mirror
• Using motion detection and foreground subtraction techniques, the
magic mirror only shows people’s reflection if they are moving
• Stand still, and you slowly vanish, move your head and it floats back
into view
• The result is a popular and highly interactive demonstration of
machine vision techniques
