Fantastic Application Brings Your Child’s Art to Life

Your kids always come up with new and creative ways to express themselves. And as a parent, you want to encourage their creativity. But what if there was a way to take their art to the next level? Meta AI Research is developing a technology that can do just that. By using artificial intelligence, you can animate your kids’ drawings, so they can see their art come to life.

This is not only a great way to encourage your kids’ creativity but also a fun way for them to learn about technology and even participate in AI research.

Learning About AI Animation

Exposing children to AI Animation at an early age will do the same thing that phones did for children. Namely, it will acclimate them to emerging technology. They will quickly discover the limitation and restrictions and find out what works. Naturally, this will instill a greater level of critical thinking skills and a more remarkable ability to use these tools in the future for education, work, and play.

Animation can also help explain complex concepts—for example, anatomy and movement. Through the process, kids will have to identify the parts of their character drawings representing joints and other critical areas for capturing motion.

The Purpose

To teach an AI model to identify abstract and unpredictable constructions and animate them automatically.

Each time you use the software, you supply the model with a new source of information. For example, you identify an abstract drawing as a character with moveable parts and show the AI how to animate it properly. AI learns by example, so the more drawings it is exposed to, the better it will become at animating them on its own.

You may also opt-out of participation but still take advantage of the application.

What Drawings Can You Animate?

You use Meta’s application to animate children’s art. However, it will not animate anything with a background, landscapes, or scribbles. Character art only. Otherwise, Meta’s AI Research gives kids a lot of freedom to animate things that do not look precisely like a character.

All Requirements:

1. A single character where the arms and legs don’t overlap.
2. Drawn on white paper without wrinkles, tears, or lines.
3. Well-lit photograph or scan.
4. No identifiable or offensive material.
5. No copyright infringement.

Getting Started

The website will guide you with pictures and examples, but I will summarize the process here:

1. Scan or photograph your child’s drawing.
2. Upload the image to https://sketch.metademolab.com/
3. Fill out the consent form.
4. Use Meta’s online tool to isolate the character and identify joints.
5. Meta’s AI technology will animate the drawing.
6. Your child can watch their art come to life and play with preset animations.
7. Finally, download your child’s animation to share with grandparents or friends.

Have fun animating!
