little motion tracking script
Basic idea is to take difference frames assuming localized movements. The central point is computed for each difference frame. Then, this central point is tracked.Plenty of knobs to tweak and tune.

We may display questions which are relevant to who this particular person is. Scalability (how to support multiple users): ?Persistence: ?"If you would like me to know who you are, put a (any) form of identification in front of my eye"TODO:
- Motion Detection with Camera (to wake up the screen and put the screen to sleep)
- Multiple iterations of graphical design
- Addition of a nob input device. This allows one to click and scroll through the questionsAnother idea for a nob is as follows:
1) The words automatically shift from one to the other in a clockwise and then a counterclockwise motion.
2) If the word stops on a question which fits the user, then the user can cover the webcam and this is the equivalent of a click.
Today's discussion
We decided to focus on purely the graphical content for this week. Also, we need to work on answering these questions.Graphical Design: ?Identity: Achieved via crowd sourcing, thus we know who you areWe may display questions which are relevant to who this particular person is.

Identity
What is identity? This is a famous wooden mirror installation which was done by Daniel Rozin:
