X-Ray Scanner

Halloween costume that X-rays everyone in front of it, with a pose game

Me wearing the costume: a cardboard X-ray box on my chest, the iPad screen showing my ribs and heart
Self-diagnostic: a window into my chest

What it is

A Halloween costume: an iPad hung on my chest in a cardboard box, running a web app that X-rays whoever is in front of it.

  • Subject scan tracks every body, hand and face through the front camera and puts a real anatomical skeleton on each person, down to the finger bones. A thumbs up takes a photo with its X-ray.
  • Self-diagnostic turns the screen into a window into my chest: ribs, a beating heart and breathing lungs, in parallax with the viewer’s head.
  • Pose game: copy poses, yoga and meme moves (6-7, Crank That, the dab) against the clock, with a photo of every match.
  • Lean in too close and it jumpscares you.

It runs entirely in the browser with MediaPipe for tracking and three.js for rendering. The bones are BodyParts3D anatomy models rigged to the tracked joints.
