White Glove Tracking

In 1983, before the baby dangling and the pajama perp walk and the horrifying allegations in court, Michael Jackson performed "Billie Jean" at the Motown 25th anniversary celebration—and looked sublime. For 5 minutes and 35 seconds (and 10,060 frames of video), he glittered and jittered and introduced the world to both the Moonwalk and the fashion potential of a single white glove. Now, the White Glove Tracking project is deep into a collaborative effort to "isolate just the white glove from this moment in pop-culture history." Don't ask why—they're not saying. Just lend a helping hand to isolate a frame or two. Hey, if NASA can harness the power of "volunteer science" for its Mars Clickworks experiment, White Glove Tracking can do it for the Moonwalk moment and the white glove's grand style statement.
