Experience
- Ambient Wallpaper for S24 (AI Phone)
- Artificially Intelligent Weather and Time Wallpaper(Patent Applied)
- ML model: Most Images have focused foreground object/human but location of Object has to be detected using unfocused parts
- Designed a system where the wallpaper intelligently segments the image into different layers (e.g., background, foreground, sky, etc.) and uses shader techniques to add weather details (e.g., rain, snow, clouds) to different layers in real time, seamlessly blending the changes with the image's natural appearance.
