There are 10,060 frames of video in Michael Jacksons 5 min 34 sec nationally televised landmark performance of Billy Jean. The White Glove Tracking project is an effort to isolate just the white glove from this moment in pop-culture history.

Rather then write unnecessarily complex code to find the glove in every frame of the video we are asking for the assistance of 10,060 individual internet users to simply click and drag a box around the glove in one frame. In the end this data will be shared freely for all to download, visualize, and use as an input into other digital systems." - an open source project initiated by Evan Roth and Ben Engebreth.
