Buongiorno, https://nuca.rocks/
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Introducing a new kind of camera. Natural Nudity. AI Powered to be You. Just You. NUCA is a speculative design and art project by [Mathias Vef] and [Benedikt Groß]. The project aims to provoke and question the current trajectory of generative AI in reproducing body images. [...] NUCA is a speculative consumer product and not meant to be used uncontrolled in “the wild”. The generated images are not used in any way, except with explicit consent given. To ensure the safety of minors, the project is exclusively for adults. [...] This project prompts a crucial discussion on AI's potential, emphasizing consent, algorithmic fairness, and the societal impacts of AI-generated imagery. As Emanuel Maiberg and Samantha Cole put it, we must confront that we are facing an “explosion of non-consensual sexual imagery that's seeping out of every crack of internet infrastructure […] a new type of pornography in which humans are only a memory that's copied and remixed to instantly generate whatever sexual image a user can describe with words”. [[Source]] The current NUCA prototype is a 3d-printed camera (19.5 × 6 × 1.5 cm, 430g). The device is equipped with a 37 mm wide angle lens and an ergonomic grip. The viewfinder displays the input image and can be configured to show some of the input parameters e.g. pose detection in real-time. By pressing the trigger, the camera will create an estimated natural nude representation of the person being photographed. The inputs of the generative image process are the photo, the person's pose (estimated skeleton) and the landmarks of the person's face. The input photo is being analyzed by a custom classifier on 45 identifiers on gender, age, ethnicity, expression, hair, glasses, body shape etc. These ratings are then being used to generate a base image by formulating a prompt for a text-to-image AI (Stable Diffusion). The base image is a generic estimation of a nude person fulfilling this prompt. In the last step the image is then being individualized by taking the person's face and pose into account in the final development of the nude portrait.
