We don't have training data! The current version of freemocap relies on mediapipe (BlazePose) for the tracking, you can find all the model cards and whatnot in their docs. Future versions will allow you to hot swap the tracking model, but we don't currently have any plans to train our own.

Dusting off this account - looks like #Bluesky has been picking up!

Please share any tips and tricks to help me get started! Trying to capture the #Science #Twitter magic before that space rotted out.

(specifcally making this post to use the #EduSky hashtag so I can join that group)

It got it on the first try!

(I was looking for the Ijspeert paper)

This is using lovely #FOSS #AI tool from @continue.dev in @vscode.dev (with #MCP tools on, but I'm not sure it used them?)

It's just a proof of concept at the moment, but if there is interest I would love to develop this further!
