Computer built a webcam app that turns 16 hand gestures into emojis. The demo’s Decisions API cost was about 1/15 of a cent. Try it: detect-emojis.pplx.app

Perplexity Decisions scores selected frames against written gesture definitions. When local recognition is uncertain, the app can use those probabilities to choose an emoji, accepting only results that pass its confidence checks.

The app discards replies for earlier gestures, so a delayed “fist” result cannot replace a newer peace sign. Short holds reduce flicker between poses.

Computer rebuilt Elon Musk's 2013 SpaceX 3D visualizer app. From the YouTube video alone, Computer built a 7,677-segment Three.js wireframe of SpaceX's Merlin 1D engine, and you turn it with bare hands through a webcam. Try it: merlin-hand-control.pplx.app How Computer made it:

Computer wired a 21-landmark MediaPipe hand tracker through a One-Euro filter with open-palm clutch hysteresis, so an open hand grabs the engine and a fist lets go without drift. Open-hand deltas drive damped quaternion kinematics: one hand orbits, two hands roll and zoom, and a flick free-spins it until you catch it. Computer used Ultra effort mode.

Computer built a playable 3D version of Hnefatafl, the Norse strategy game, in Standard effort mode. An AI opponent powered by Perplexity’s Decisions API shows its planned moves and the probabilities it assigns to each choice.

Computer built a 2:36 underwater horror film rendered entirely in ASCII characters. Computer created this film on High effort mode, using a shader to turn each cell of a 3D ocean scene into type, with sparse punctuation in the dark and dense letters in the light, redrawn and recolored every frame. Even the cracks in the submarine window are characters.

Computer built an interactive globe of Earth's 4.5 billion years from 14 open datasets, with its own engine moving 258 plates across 109 paleo-elevation maps. Drag the timeline, or type a city to see where it sat 400 million years ago. deeptime.pplx.app/

Computer made a 5:51 explainer on how lab diamonds are made. It explores the science and economics of lab-grown diamonds, from high-pressure presses and plasma reactors to color correction, collapsing prices, and the tests that distinguish them from mined stones.

Computer turned a shoulder MRI report into an interactive 3D explainer a patient can read. From one anonymized radiology report, it placed all nine findings on a skeletal model, with six X-ray projections and a plain-language explanation of each.
