Announcing the Roboflow SXSW Scavenger Hunt
Blog post from Roboflow
The 2023 South by Southwest (SXSW) conference featured a unique computer vision-powered scavenger hunt organized by Roboflow, designed to highlight creativity and collaboration. Participants, both at the conference and remotely, were tasked with finding 25 objects using a computer vision model, with each set of five objects identified earning them an entry into a $1,000 contest. The scavenger hunt, which included progressively challenging levels, encouraged exploration and social interaction, with participants registering and receiving random objects to find, except for the universally assigned "friend" object. The game utilized Microsoft COCO and roboflow.js to detect objects and displayed them with bounding boxes on the screen. The source code for the game is open source, allowing others to create their own versions. Although the competition has ended, an archived version remains available for play, and a deep dive into the development process is set to be published.
