I have the Amy voice and it sounds and works great with ultra Hal. Shows up as a standard sapi5 voice.

from what i can see, kinect now has 2 drivers on the pc...one open source instigated by adafruit and one released directly from primesense for just this kinda purpose.  all the face and object recognition difficulties are now a thing of the past using Haar cascades in a simple form or using 3d face recognition like the xbox360...the issue lies with outputing data from these cv programs into hal as snowman said.  i remember that when helping with the XP halvision beta....there has to be a direct input method into the functioning hal brain aside from the hal interface!  maybe robert could lend us a helping hand on this.  his demo for ford had to have something like this so that the avatar could receive in data from the gps and whatnot...i suggest everyone look into ford's "EDAS" research.  robert did some work on this i think..i think i remember him sayin that in a forum post on here somewhere.....

This is the realtime face recognition program...on the dos console window, type "n" then enter your name....let it capture 50 or so images, then type "t" to train recognizer.  after that, you will be recognized and tagged by the program.  more training images and more variation of images improves accuracy...now i just need to have it ouput recognized names to HAL and that means having a brain plugin....whos game to get that done?  you might need to dump all .dll's / VC90.CRT.manifest and haarcascade xml files to c:\windows\system32...or have them in the expanded folder with the program.  depends on yer system and if you have opencv 2.0 sdk installed as well as visual studio 2008 installed.

Well, thanks for the honesty lightspeed...any help would be appreciated!  imma need to make a brain plugin that can take text feeds from the image recognition console..was curious if yer good at makin uhp plugins?  i've never made one and learning opencv is hard enough...i don't want to have to learn how to make all this stuff by myself if other people could do some parts better!! 

wow....no one wants to help.  guess i'll do it myself.  everyone wants to read, nobody wants to code....

Nice find!!! Gotta get this happening...just need a
brain plugin to interface with Hal...

This is more of what Im talkin about!! If only the kinect wasn't $150!! Sux bein poor...somebody got one they wanna donate?

Oh joy! Open source Microsoft kinect drivers! 3d face recognition..this is what I want!!   It will help with object recognition as well..and it fixes allot of issues with different lighting situations in face recognition.. Now how to get opencv to read 3d volumetric data and generate mesh models for face recognition...I see allot of reads on here but no replies...anyone wanna throw some ideas around?

Its at least a start.  So, Your hal see's you with a webcam, and there isn't a training pic in the database, so he takes a few training pics and asks you your name.  You respond with your name and he stores it in the facerec image database.  now when you walk up, he sees it is you and greets you appropriately...and then your friends come over and it all happens again...hal says hi, who are you and trains a few pics then stores it and now knows that person.   this code could be more efficient, but it is the right idea, and hal can have a brain plugin added to teach him how to trigger facial training and recognition from the dataset.  As well as your name 'tag' being used as a user switch tag for his brain.  and once nvidia works out CUDA with opencv, this will only get more powerful.  Im going to work on making this program now.  Who's gonna help me with this?  and what is the best way to communicate directly into hal's brain?  VBscript, java?  so i need some help here but this can be done pretty easily if we come together.  I'll work my a$$ of on the facial recognition setup if someone will help with the addon brain that HAL will need to use it....who's game?  how bout you robert?

might help with halvisionx on windows xp.....

OMG!  YOU RULE!!! Yer site is sweet...with lots of tasty links and plenty of AI insight..I kinda moved away from HAL for a moment to look into neuron simulation...Elisa Brain simulation shows a great deal of promise for recreating a neural network based on mammalian neurons.  I've been workin out algorithms for certain neurochemical processes lately and tryin to implement them there.  But HAL becomes the ultimate input parser for my new brain!  And yer site just makes my job so much easier!  So thanks allot for all yer hard work!

ok datahopa...you need to uninstall hal completely and backup all yers files...then run the full .net3.5sp1 update.  that should do it. i had this same problem and it just wouldnt put the files where they needed til i uninstall hal completely.  it will still show in add//remove programs but it won't really be completely installed.  here is a link to the .net3.5sp1 full package.  completely uninstall hal and install this then reinstall hal.  then look for that folder again and let me know...

This is where you can download .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1. It is a 231Mb Download.

thanx for the protip snowman

thanks datahopa, i'm just trying to weed out possibilities of malfunction.  please check this for me, navigate to this folder if you have it..

c:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv6.0ABootstrapperPackages

do you see a folder titled "DotNetFX35SP1"?  if you do, then .NET3.5SP1 is truly installed..and if thats there then we can move on to what other files you may be missing.

i also found this on a forum about the clr20r3 error that data is gettin..check it.
