FACE RECOGNITION #1

Face recognition technology I've created at the moment can flag whether the camera can see a face or not. Currently I have a closed door onscreen. If a face, any face, is detected then the door will open.
Anything can be behind the door, like the fact of the day. Something of interest to the kids.

I plan to be able to use the camera info to also measure the height and distance of the person. This means we can open a door ONLY for a short person like a young child.

The door is closed. No faces detected.

A face has been detected, the door opens to reveal whatever we want.

THE ROTATOR #1

This rotator can be used passively (constantly running) or fully interactive as a game. Any object such as a biological object, device, astronomical object etc. can be rotated in any direction using tai-chi type motion.

The user can be urged to find a certain part of the object such as the medulla in the brain or another example would be 'Find France' and so on.

The object can also be just an object of interest that the user can control if they feel like it when passing.

Cool tech links....

THIS. HAVE TO HAVE THIS.
Used with a program like the free (and Mac based) Autodesk 123D Make it would be awesome in the extreme!
