The camera operates by collecting data from its location using open APIs. Utilizing the address, weather, time of day, and nearby places. Combining all these data points Paragraphica composes a paragraph that details a representation of the current place and moment.
Using a text-to-image AI, the camera converts the paragraph into a “photo”.
The resulting “photo” is not just a snapshot, but a complex and nuanced reflection of the location you are at, and perhaps how the AI model “sees” that place.

trains.jo-m.chI have a rail line right under my apartment, so I built a small computer vision app running on a Rasperry Pi which records each train passing, and tries to stitch an image of it.
