Work

Animating characters may not be a task for everyone. Scroobly aims to make it easier by being a fun and easy tool to create animations in real-time with your camera.

bit.studio in collaboration with Google, developed a web app that lets ANYONE turn their doodles to life – no coding or design skills required, just follow these 3 steps:
First, choose a shape and start scribbling. Second, make it move using your body and the doodles will mirror your moves in real-time. Last, record and save. Now your animation is ready to be shared!

Scroobly is designed to be enjoyed anywhere and anytime. Just a device with a camera and you are good to go. No additional app is required since our web app can be accessed via your default browser.

Scroobly is fully powered by TensorFlow.js. We implemented Facemesh and PoseNet Machine Learning models to detect the key points of your face and body. Then the system will translate those key points into motion and map that motion to the character. We optimized the model to make all these processes run simultaneously as you move. So, you can see how characters are animated in real-time.

Scroobly is an AI experiment featured on Experiments with Google, visit the blog to see more about the project: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/scroobly.

Burrito? Nachos? Quesadilla? Taco?
Now ordering Mexican food is more special than ever!

In collaboration with Google, we created a fun food ordering experience for DiDi Food. ‘Dibuja tu Antojo’ is a web app that turns lovely food drawing into real food order.

To start the experience, draw a favorite dish and capture the drawing with our web app. It will guess what you have drawn and suggest the nearby restaurants that are able to serve that dish on DiDi Food. Finish your order and let’s enjoy the meal!

Find your joy and share them with Ho Jeng AR!

In collaboration with Google, we developed an immersive adventure to spread joy across Hong Kong. Ho Jeng AR is a mobile app that features a fun AR experience that encourages people to find joy around themselves, and forward it to the city.

To start the experience, users search for everyday objects and symbols that represent the city’s vibe. Our AI will automatically detect certain types of joy, identify, and pair it up with one of the six joyful characters which users can enjoy playing and interacting with.

Equipped with AR technology, our app allows users to bring the characters to their surroundings to create an augmented world of joy. The more you play with them, the more points you get. Sum the score up and earn surprise rewards from merchants and partners across the city!

Let’s spread joy!

In collaboration with Hot Pepper Gourmet and Google, we created “Oekaki Takeout”, an experience for kids and families that you can draw what you want to eat and our app will find nearby restaurants where you can order the menu.

To begin, pick up a plain white paper and coloured crayons. Draw what you want to eat and take a picture.

Then, with the power of AI/ML, our app will guess what you have drawn. After that, it will search for the restaurants from “Hot Pepper Gourmet”, the largest gourmet information site. Finally, Oekaki Takeout will display the list of nearby restaurants based on your location.

Let’s draw together and enjoy the meal!

Can’t decide which meal to order?
Why not let your little kids draw something they would like to have for this dinner?
Delivery Doodles will magically turn your kids’ doodles into food orders!

In collaboration with Google and GrabFood, bit.studio developed a web application for families to enjoy their freetime and mealtime together. Available to serve your meal in 3 countries across APAC in May 2020.

Delivery Doodles is a fun experience with simple steps to follow. Just draw a dish and capture your drawing. Our AI will try to guess what you have drawn and redirect you to GrabFood’s local restaurant lists where you can order your dish. That’s it. Enjoy your special menu and family time!

With the power of TensorFlow.js, we created a Machine Learning (ML) model that can recognize more than 40 dishes. The challenge of this project was to gather as varied drawing styles as possible in a short period of time. Undoubtedly, the input quantity was essential, so was the data diversification. To achieve both aspects in one go, we developed a mobile data collecting application that made collecting and labelling data effortless. Just use our web app to capture a drawing then choose one of the predefined classes to label it.

In close collaboration with Grab and Google, over 10,000 doodles were submitted from across the countries. Our ML model used the collected data to learn what each dish should look like. In addition, we also generated drawing data using image processing techniques and the Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) model to create more variety of drawing styles, which helped enhance the accuracy of our ML model. Finally, we combined the model with our web app, and voila, Delivery Doodles is now ready to deliver this enjoyable experience to more and more families!
