For my prototype 1, I was able to use Unity and image recognition to have my webcam recognize my tattoo. I learned that in order to have a smooth connection, the image must have high contrast between its colors. Personally, my tattoos are very dark so it is somewhat difficult to recognize but it can be done with proper lighting. I have also learned that linework tattoos are the easiest to recognize because they can be simple with design and have plenty of contrast that Unity can recognize between the ink and skin. Heading into prototype 2 I would like to test out my phone camera to see if better camera quality can boost the image recognition.
