About this demo

Steer an AI's memory with your hands

Each dot is a memory an AI assistant kept; lines are the semantic links between them. Your webcam becomes the controller: computer-vision hand tracking runs entirely in your browser and turns bare-hand gestures into navigation. Nothing here talks to real infrastructure.

The gestures

open hand point at a memory

pinch jump to the aimed memory

fist grab & drag the map

two fists move apart / together to zoom

No camera? The pointer follows your mouse; wheel to zoom, drag to pan, R to reset.

Regions

research — models, evals, retrieval

infra — the home lab & ops

ideas — sparks & side-projects

journal — reflections & decisions

Kinesis

A live map of an AI's memory that you steer with your bare hands in front of the webcam. Point, pinch, grab and zoom — no mouse, no touchscreen.

Hand tracking runs in your browser with Google's MediaPipe model and WebAssembly, both served straight from this site. No image or video frame is uploaded or stored. Every request goes to this domain only: the demo graph and the tracking model.
