AI Vision & Generative Video Prototype Engineer for Spatial Media Platform

We are building a confidential next-generation AI media prototype that combines real-world visual recognition, multimodal content understanding, generative video creation, and spatial-style visual playback. This is not a standard mobile app project. A smartphone or camera-equipped device may be used as the temporary capture and playback interface, but the core work is the AI pipeline: recognizing physical visual/text-based content, interpreting its meaning, generating a short AI-created visual sequence, and playing it back through a simplified reflective display/demo setup. The detailed product concept will be shared only after NDA. We are looking for an experienced engineer: * Camera-based capture of physical visual/text content * OCR and computer vision processing * Multimodal AI interpretation of the captured content * Structured JSON generation for scene, character, tone, action, and visual direction * AI-generated image/video or animated visual sequence creation * Playback mode optimized for a simple reflective display-style demo * Lightweight backend/API pipeline for AI processing and asset storage * A polished demo flow suitable for investor, partner, or internal product presentations **Required Skills:** * Computer vision and OCR * Multimodal AI / LLM integration * AI image generation and/or AI video generation * Prompt engineering and structured JSON outputs * Backend/API development * Camera input and media processing * Prototype UI or demo interface development * Fast MVP execution under a 12-week timeline **Nice to Have:** * Experience with AR, spatial media, projection-style visuals, or reflective display demos * Experience creating AI characters, animated scenes, or generative video workflows * Unity, WebGL, React, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, or similar demo-rendering experience * Experience building confidential product prototypes or investor demo systems **Confidentiality Requirements:** The selected freelancer must sign an NDA, assign all work product/IP to the client, and keep the entire project fully confidential. The project, concept, screenshots, demos, prompts, workflows, code, and outputs may not be shared publicly or used in a portfolio without written permission. **Application Requirements:** Please share relevant examples of projects involving AI vision, OCR, multimodal AI, generative image/video, AR/spatial media, or interactive prototype systems. Screenshots, short videos, documents, or links are welcome. Please also describe what you would build in the first 2 weeks to prove technical feasibility.
