Posenet & P5js - classification of poses to trigger sounds

[Sven]

When running the sketch locally, is it directly from the file system (without a web server)? If so, you’ve run into this problem:

This has to do with how loadImage and loadSound are implemented. The functions use something called Fetch API and have that configured in such a way that downloading of files isn’t allowed locally. Believe it or not, it’s related to security.

There’s not much you can do about it really (except patching p5.js). Running a web server (locally or elsewhere) as you did is the way to go.

If you’re interested in the technical details, read up on CORS and Fetch API.
