Machine Learning
Lively can leverage Machine Learning(ML) inferencing to create dynamic wallpapers.
Predict depth(distance from camera) of any 2D image and generate a 3D like parallax effect.
More coming soon..
First verify that internet is working and try again. The files are hosted on github, some locations or network maybe blocking them.
You can download the files directly from the browser by following the link:
https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively-ml-models/releases
Depending on your Lively setup and the machine learning category the downloaded file needs to extracted to:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Lively Wallpaper\ML\<ModelName>\
%LocalAppData%\Packages\12030rocksdanister.LivelyWallpaper_97hta09mmv6hy\LocalCache\Local\Lively Wallpaper\ML\<ModelName>\
Where <ModelName> are the following:
Depth wallpaper : Midas
Create directory if it does not exist.
Depth information or Depth Map is generated on the fly when creating the wallpaper. Depth Map shows the distance of object from the camera, in the following example darker region is further away from the camera and brighter near.
Based on this information the image pixels are shifted more when closer and less when further away from camera.
Lively leverages GPU shaders to shift the pixels for performance.
The generated wallpaper is a based on this project template:

As it is a standard webpage this can be further enhanced by users, for example add a visualizer using Lively System API
