Hathor is learning to make moving pictures from the same remakes, characters and objects that fill the Śilpa Śāstra gallery — wordless documentaries, animated maps with the years ticking by, and short test animations.
We are testing these features and looking to develop them. This is Hathor's alpha work, made on our own servers — the images and videos she makes next are expected to be much better and more accurate. Tell us what works and what doesn't: every video page has 👍/👎, comments and timestamped notes.
