Ultra Hal Hardware Plug-In?
« on: June 11, 2004, 10:34:58 pm »
Hi all,

It's been a while since I posted my last topic.
(My last topic was about the Terminator issue and the HAL 9000
skin I've created.)

Okay, so here's something new for your tricky brains.
I know speech rec. is already possible with Ultra Hal.
But, what about a Plug-In that makes Ultra Hall use a webcam.
By using a webcam he might become more intelligent I think, because he might learn certain pattern recognition(s).
In this way he can develop new experiences by observing the world
outside the box.
Okay, I know, maybe it needs a lot of diskspace it the end, but why
not give it a try.

Example:

You place a toy car in front of webcam.
Then you give a command like. Hal, observe the "car".
Hal takes a moment and maybe stores a picture of it in his
database.
Maybe it might also be possible to use some kind of identification
procedure for the "eye". Just think of those security programs that are able to scan a face and tell what the persons name is.

So, My question: Does such a Plug-In already excist?
Would it be possible to create such a plug-in?
Who might be to create such a program for HAL?
