Hand gesture recognition

The term AI refers to simulation of human intelligence by machines. Machine learning and deep learning are covered under the umbrella term AI. Machine learning software is able to predict outcomes by providing algorithms of older data [2]. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning and uses neural network structure algorithms.  It requires more data for an accurate response. ML requires mores human intervention to correct and learn while with DL it learns from its environment and past mistakes which makes it more accurate. In short, ML learns from user input and DL from environmental input. [3]

Aloy Shadow Stalwart

Making this cosplay was on my bucket list. I promised myself that whenever I had the money to buy a 3D printer I would make this version of Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. Not only did I have a lot of fun making this costume, it also strengthened by modelling skills, I have obtained so many new skills that I still use to this day. This cosplay containt 40 different models and over 200 (Two hundred!) pieces. All printer by my precious Ender 5 Combined the prints weight around 3 to 4 kilos. Start big or go home (I guess). For no particular reason I used PLA+ for the prints. Most of the models have a curve on the game model, but I chose to make most pieces flat to avoid a lot of printing support and thus to save up material. A very easy way to curve your prints, is by dipping them into hot water for a couple second until the material is softened then bend them around a round object to achieve the correct roundness. This technique is especially very handy with the headpiece. The side pieces of the headpiece perfectly fit the rounding of the head using this method.

Arcane Vi Cosplay

Since I always strive to make my cosplays as accurate at possible for a potential contest, it mostly means I have to start from scratch. Using different materials and coloured fabrics is necessary for this project to obtain the right 'vibe'. Especially the textures are very important for the overall view.
