ComputerVision
"With various machine learning and image recognition libraries flooding the tech world, it is a simple website that contains a collection of some cool projects using one of the most popular library Tensorflow.js. From determining the key points in an image to controlling css objects using gestures, this project is a perfect way to arouse curiosity and attention of the new comers towards the infinite possibilities of AI. The issues will range from a number of basic css designs, website development to creating there own machine learning model. The Website currently contains only one project - ""Skeletal dance"" where a skeletal made up of css keypoints objects is detected using tensorflow library and displayed on the canvas. Another project is aimed to move css objects like a car or anything by detecting movements, example - hand movements. Further projects are also planned for making this website.

Testimonials
People used to take any issue that comes their way, be it something they even haven’t heard about. I guess, that’s the beauty of OpenCode, it helps us let go of our fear of tackling problems without thinking about whether we can solve them or not.
Before Opencode I had a vague understanding of git and some basic knowledge of Python and Web development. But towards the end of it I got introduced to many technologies and coding practices. Thus, I can safely say that I have taken a huge step towards excelling as a developer.
It was a great experience for me. I enjoyed a lot doing different things for the competition like opening issues, solving them, claiming issues opened by the organizers, creating pull requests. It gave me real happiness whenever my PR was merged.
I had joined GitHub just two weeks before OpenCode had started. Initially, I felt quite underconfident while taking up the issues. I went from being that underconfident guy to the guy who’s now comfortable enough to explore the beautiful world of open-source.
I started with adding myself as contestant in opencode collaborative website and then the journey to contribute more and more started. OpenCode ended with introducing me to new and exciting stuff like loaders, cool libraries like particle.js, making game with the help of javascript and many more things.
