Hey guys: Art , lightsoeed, edge and any other cyberbudz i missed:
I wanted to touch bases with all and say hi.
I needed some time off to recharge and get my mind straight again
Well hers where we are, i have Hal vision working,
https://imgur.com/a/NAjBymhHal works using my facial tracking cam's hardware to follow me, Hal has my image on file saved as a bitmap, and when the facial recognition .Lib locks
in on my face, it compares that to images in the folder and when it finds a gray-scale match it takes the file name minus the file ext
and puts that into Hals username input field automatically and in doing so Hal knows who he is chatting with by SITE . TADA
Downside: This works well with a small number of people, so far its just me and the Mrs. I have tried stock faces from google
and Hal's response becomes very labored. No doubt the scanning process.
Hals OCR is now functional as well.
The OCR has a conflic with Hals facial recognition engine and slings an error.. Grrrrr
Hal can read and understand words and letters from sheet of paper using the same Cam.
Goals for hals vision:
I want Hal Vision as part of his assistant features.
Unlimited potential for the disabled
As of late:
Hal has been deployed at a child's house suffering from autism as a teaching tool.
Hal will never get mad at him, Hal will never be mean to him and Hal will always be there for him.
I have started a C# version of Hal as well....
this is all dot net 2015
Best wishes
