Game of Clones is a British game show
that asks contestants to describe their
perfect soulmate’s looks, then finds 8

show, when looks between 8 people are
equal, all that’s left to go on is personality. Source

spiritual symbol of their culture had
turned black, which, in theory, would
have served as a distraction to help
give Americans the advantage. Source
Using a series of sensors, Dua’s bot detects when a person is about to run into something and beeps to
them. The project took her a total of four days to build. Her prize is every Marvel fan’s dream.
The algorithm was trained with over 2000 photographs of cats, which gives it the ability to see lines and guess whether they’re supposed to be eyes, tails, or limbs. From there, it appears to grab the clone Photoshop tool and go to nightmare town.
