This project is about horror movies. You can upload your picture and, with Cloudinary, get a mask and random background depending on the movie you choose.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Spooky Customize AI utilizes Cloudinary AI Background Removal while changing the background with a mix of an underlay and generative background replacement. It’s built on Vite React using the React SDK<\/a> and dynamic overlays to produce mask effects, cropping, and resizing to ultimately produce the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfA quien vas a llamar? Encuentra y atrapa a todos los fantasmas antes de que se acabe el tiempo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Ghost Spotters cleverly uses overlays with positioning based on AI face detection to hide some faces with masks throughout the scene of a crowd. The app uses the Next.js SDK<\/a> to apply generative AI transformations and artistic filters that are used to make everything a little bit more spooky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hauntedfolio generates a fun, creepy portfolio to showcase your top repositories, languages, and bio, enhanced with spooky visuals and mysterious facts. The app also creates a haunted-style video that highlights your projects, skills and top languages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Hauntedfolio uses generative AI to replace both the background and the face with a zombie version. It was built with Astro relying on the Astro SDK<\/a> to power transformations. It uses other Cloudinary transformations to change colors of objects, generate social media cards, and video generation for a dynamically generated video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An image is nothing but a mathematical representation of reality. An image can be altered to our liking. But by altering the images that represent reality, are we altering reality itself? You are not the only ‘you’ out there. Look at the real ‘you’ inside you. With the help of artificial intelligence, you can scan your insides and find what lies there. It is probably an entity beyond human comprehension\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Original (En Espa\u00f1ol):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una imagen no es m\u00e1s que una representaci\u00f3n matem\u00e1tica de la realidad. Una imagen se puede alterar a nuestro gusto. Pero \u00bfal alterar las im\u00e1genes que representan la realidad, estar\u00edamos alterando a la misma realidad? T\u00fa no eres el \u00fanico ‘t\u00fa’ all\u00e1 afuera. Mira el verdadero ‘t\u00fa’ de tu interior. Con la ayuda de la inteligencia artificial puedes escanear tu interior y encontrar lo que all\u00ed yace. Probablemente sea una entidad m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la compresi\u00f3n humana…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Kernel Panic is an Astro app that uses Generative AI via the Astro SDK<\/a> to take an uploaded image and make it a bit more frightful using Generative Replace and Generative Background Replace. The effects were managed using Named Transformations, making it easy to maintain a single source of transformations for a variety of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the app, you can sign up to be \u2018purged\u2019 from the world on Halloween night. To do so, we show you your current face, and how you’ll look after the Purge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Beyond uploading, La Purga uses generative AI to change the user’s image to look like a zombie to give the effect of a casualty of The Purge. It’s build on Astro and like the other’s uses the Astro SDK<\/a> to make it easy to create such a compelling experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
