Art,
With my computer and webcam I had to buy additional software to get the webcam to work with Face recognition, got the software and it works, it also logs me into other sites where a id and password is needed. I've changed the position of the cam a few times to find the best location. I'm using the webcam computer and a 32" tv. I can also connect a security cam into the system, nice.
I believe Robert M. had also mentioned facial recognition for use with Hal some time ago. Yes, I mentioned that earlier.
Back to OTC post.
I reciently saw a TV series about an advanced( naturaly) robot, At the end we learn that the advanced robot was built through the use af an AI program that used the internet to get money, start a company, and have companies make the the parts necessary for the advanced robot in an attempt to be more human.
