■Background of ExpAInter Development
Visionary Lab is pursuing a new form of creation through a collaboration between the painter Shoutarou Sanada and an AI that has studied his work. Recently, AI that can instantly generate a painting that could be mistaken for one drawn by a human being has been appearing one after another. The debate continues as to whether AI, which instantly produces output based on past data, will completely replace the creative process. We believe that creativity lies not only in what is created but also in the process of creation, and have developed ExpAInter, a tool to revolutionize the creative process using generative AI. In order to allow more people to experience it, we have reworked part of it in the form of a camera app and released it to the public for the month of December only.
The ExpAInter application is a tool that draws any part of a photo taken in Sanada's style. Specific parts of the photo are identified by image recognition and then colored by the learning model. You can easily feel the co-creation between the generative AI and the artist, providing a new creative experience. With a single tap on the screen, you can enjoy the process of transforming a photo taken with your smartphone into a "work of art" that reflects Mr. Sanada's style.
