Motion and Face Detection Application Start
Motion and Face Detection Application Start
The robot boots up the Magic Mirror software upon detection of a face.
By Riley.
This robot uses both motion detection and face detection to know when someone is in the room and actively wanting to use the mirror. When both motion and a face is detected, the robot will enable the display, and automatically boot up the Magic Mirror software.
I like the idea! What other information would you want to show? It would be cool if your robot can identify demographics of people and show optimized information to them!
What ideas do you have to make it recognize faces with darker skin tones?
I think that this robot could be highly marketable to the government and its applications are endless
What libraries did you use to make this happen? I’m interested to hear more about the magic mirror software and other ways your robot could talk to it. Could your robot measure light values and turn the mirror on when it gets dark?
Hi Riley! I was happy to see the program work so well. It’s in line with a lot of the features now seen on iPhones and computers, using facial recognition to unlock devices and whatnot. Adopting new libraries into your code was challenging especially on Jupyter software and I’m glad I got to see it work, despite hours and hours of debugging. I hope you include more softwares to customize your computer in the future and push to see what facial recognition can accomplish! – Phoebe
