New Competitions at WJF 23

AI Juggling Video Generating Software

New at WJF 23, the World Juggling Federation is holding its first ever Juggling Video Generating Software competition. The goal for this juggling simulator/generator software/platform is to be able to type in a prompt or a site swap, and have a realistic character with only two arms and two hands execute the prompt/siteswap as a real juggler would. A high scoring generation will demonstrate juggling with natural speed and movement. A higher scoring generation will demonstrate routines with connections.

The simulation/generation must be demonstrated in real time and repeatable by any user of your software/platform with the option to change the look of the juggler.

1st place: $500
2nd Place: $300
3rd Place: $150
