Abstract

The latent space of many generative models are rich in unexplored valleys and mountains. The majority of tools used for exploring them are so far limited to Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). While specialized hardware can be used for this task, we show that a simple feature extraction of pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) from a live RGB camera feed does a very good job at manipulating the latent space with simple changes in the scene, with vast room for improvement. We name this new paradigm Visual-reactive Interpolation, and the full code can be found at https://github.com/PDillis/stylegan3-fun.
