Real-Time Video AI @GenART NYU with ComfyUI & Livepeer
Exploring Real-Time Video AI @ GenART NYU, Powered by Livepeer
Join us for an interactive, hands-on session exploring the future of real time video, AI, and creative expression powered by Livepeer, ComfyUI, and Daydream.
This event is designed for students and creators across architecture, design, film, and media, where video is no longer something you edit after, but something you create live.
Discover how tools like ComfyUI and Daydream are being used today to:
Prototype interactive visuals for architecture and installations
Enhance real-time storytelling and performance in film
Build responsive, design-driven video environments
Power creative workflows....without needing a GPU
🌐 What are these tools?
🧠 ComfyUI
An intuitive, visual framework for building AI image and video workflows. Think of it as a drag-and-drop lab for experimenting with models, styles, and effects...no code required.
☁️ Daydream by Livepeer
A real-time video AI engine that runs ComfyUI workflows live. Just prompt it and your webcam video transforms on the spot, making it possible to prototype interactive visuals, reactive environments, and generative design, in real time.
🔌 ComfyStream
An open-source bridge between live video streams and ComfyUI workflows. It enables live img2img transformation using ComfyUI pipelines, all powered by Daydream.
💚 Livepeer
A open source infrastructure for video and AI streaming. Livepeer processes and delivers real-time video at scale, supporting projects like Daydream and ComfyStream to push what’s possible with creative AI.
