artificial-intelligenceArtificial Intelligence describes a field that develops and studies methods and software which enable machines to perceive their environment and uses learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals – Wikipedia.
143
automationAutomation describes a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention in processes, mainly by predetermining decision criteria, subprocess relationships, and related actions, as well as embodying those predeterminations in machines – Wikipedia.
113
cameraA camera is an instrument used to capture and store images and videos, either digitally via an electronic image sensor, or chemically via a light-sensitive material such as photographic film – Wikipedia.
88
data-visualisationData visualisation is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the graphic (or physical) representation of data.
244
environmentEnvironment, or built world, refers to the human-made environment that provides the setting for activity, ranging in scale from installations to buildings.
253
filmA film is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images.
76
generativeThe term 'Generative' describes a process, in whole or in part, that is created using an autonomous system. An autonomous system in this context is generally non-human and can independently determine features that would otherwise require decisions made by the author/creator.
362
installationInstallation describes large-scale, mixed-media constructions, often designed for a specific place or for a temporary period of time.
649
interactiveThe term 'Interactive' describes a process/exchange between users and computers and other machines through an interface (physical or spatial).
126
interfaceAn interface is a shared boundary across which two or more separate components of a system of exchange information. The exchange can be between software, computer hardware, peripheral devices, humans, animal-world, nature and combinations of these.
231
kinectKinect is a discontinued line of motion sensing input devices produced by Microsoft and first released in 2010. The devices generally contain RGB cameras, and infrared projectors and detectors that map depth through either structured light or time of flight calculations, which can in turn be used to perform real-time gesture recognition and body skeletal detection, among other capabilities.
76
machine-learningMachine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions.
67
networkA network may describe any form of an interconnected group or system, whether in computation or nature.
74
nftA non-fungible token (NFT) is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a form of digital ledger, that can be sold and traded. Types of NFT data units may be associated with digital files such as photos, videos, and applications.

413
opencvOpenCV is a library of programming functions for real-time computer vision.
61
particlesIn the physical sciences, a particle is a small localized object which can be described by several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass. In computation, it is mostly used as a point that may have a position and vector.
102
patternA pattern is a regularity in the world, in human-made design, or in abstract ideas. As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.
54
processA process is a series or set of activities that interact to produce a result; it may occur once-only or be recurrent or periodic. On CAN we use it to describe workflows or how a project came to be.
208
projectionA projection is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface. Similarly it describes a way of displaying two-dimensional information in a physical space by using light.
186
roboticsRobotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering, computer science, and others.
