I built software that detects people jaywalking all over the world with the help of unprotected surveillance cameras. You can also report them by pressing a big emergency button. It then sends an email to the closest police station. More info here: driesdepoorter.be/jaywalking

Trained a small model that hears whether I tap left or right of my trackpad. No camera, no extra sensors, just the laptop’s built-in microphone.

Updating my installation! Jaywalking shows live open cameras. When the software detects someone crossing on red, the choice is yours: press the big emergency button and a screenshot of the jaywalker is emailed straight to the nearest police station. Or let them walk. driesdepoorter.be/jaywalking/

I operate two 'Surveillance Speaker' systems across two exhibitions. Both systems capture images that are transmitted to my local server for analysis. All images are deleted once this process is complete. driesdepoorter.be/surveillance...

Project from exact 10 years ago. I called it "anti-social business cards". It was my business card with only my "Yo" account on. "Yo" was an app where you can only say Yo to each other :)
