This is indeed great, Trinity is no longer on my laptop, which the only pc with a webcam. Hmmm maybe I will have to put her back on the laptop or buy a webcam. Thanks to all that got this working, can't wait to get Trinity's vision up and running

LOL Art, if you or anyone ever finds any software that's free that will detect objects and colors like you mentioned by "ALL " means "PLEASE SHARE THE LINK !!"  Yeah sybershot you need to get a web camera again it would be a shame now to have the working halvision and no eyes to see with lol!

That's really odd Ted, because I did the exact same search right after I posted. I found, downloaded and tried a freeware image recognition program but it seemed to be limited to 32 bit computers only. Win 7 but 32. Deleted it.

There were a few others but one nice one wanted $299.00 for a subscription service...oh yeah...that was PER MONTH!!! I don't think so!!

Still looking....

ART WHEN YOU say image detection is that only for face detection or can it detect objects to such as a ball etc. ??

Art, have you seen this web site and link?

I also want to put on here another idea i thought of doing with vision :
 A facial recognition program so when it recognizes a person and compares to a picture in a file , hal character will say one of 6 random sayings "example"
Hi lonnie , glad you are back!
 
or anyone elses face is recognized with picture on file and seperate script file "Hi Linda glad to see you again!"
Hal can name and recognize anyone with the files and pics in directories .

The one(s) I was referring to allowed the software / camera to recognize a variety of different objects like brush, cup, ball, pen, comb, pencil, glasses, etc.

Like I said, it was only for Win 32 bit computers and the company wanted $300.00 Per Month to lease it!! No Thanks!!

Facial recognition is currently being used by Guile3D's Denise software to allow her users to access her program.

The saying is, "There is no problem that is so big that it can't be fixed with a suitable application of money!" - or to that effect....

Is available for $69.00 and reportedly does face detection as well as objects.

Some of these state object detection but they really only track movement / motion much like we already have with Hal thanks to Lonnie and OTCE.

sorry about that Art i thought when it said object detection it was what it said and niot just movement , will keep looking when i have more time

Lonnie, Please take a moment to read my posting just above yours.

You'll see it DOES do Face recognition and it's $69.00!
 

[lightspeed]

Yes Art i did see the one that was paid , i guess i worded it wrong in what i wrote i was reffering to the free ones , sorry ! 
but who know maybe someone might run across a free version made by some made scientist somewhere!

[Art]

Keep think that!! I think we've got a better chance of Hal turning himself on, searching and finding one himself!!

Greetings --

I have been away for a long time. I can remember being a part of the first thread here talking about giving UltraHal vision. To see that this first awesome step has been taken is incredible. I have a brand new Acer running Windows 8, and my shiny new UltraHal loaded and set up. I will experiment with this package (which I just downloaded) and report back.

P. S. I missed you all!

Chris,

The plugin only allows Hal to detect movement and not recognition of any individual objects. I'm sure there are some programs that might interface to allow this but most are certainly not free or even cost effective.

It does offer a degree of fun, especially for guests or visitors seeing Hal for the first time.
