That Halvision plugin was just a motion detector allowing Hal to "see" movement.
The REAL DEAL would be for HAL to actually use the webcam to RECOGNIZE a person. "Hi Will!! Nice to see you. How are you today?"
I think such a vision plug might be just on the horizon...or it could be a bit closer...we'll see.
=================
I have been working on this type of plugin during the lock-down.
Pictures of subjects are stored in a Db then loaded into a form. The Face detector capture the picture and compares to the db for a stored match. then returns the name of the person detected.
I designed an enrollment system to capture the face detection.
There was an issue in the face detection as when capturing and comparing the face the camera turns off after to process the image. if a face is not detected the camera will keep going on and off. but this is a minor issue (as it also has to be multi threaded) ...
