I have been looking for ways to push the conceptual framework behind word.camera to another domain. This week, I have been prototyping a script that chooses music based on photographs. Ideally, the end result will be a wearable camera / music player that selects tracks for you based on your environment. Unfortunately, the domain sound.camera has been claimed, but I’m still planning to use the name “Sound Camera” for this project.
My code:
iPython Notebook
The script I wrote gets concept words from the image via Clarifai, then searches song lyrics for those words on Genius, then finds the song on Spotify. Below are some images I put through the algorithm. You can click on each one to hear the song that resulted, though you will need to login to Spotify to do so.
The next step will be to get this code working on a Raspberry Pi inside one of the film camera bodies I just received via eBay.
