We’re not huge makers here at Kill Screen. We tinker with prose, not with Arduino.

But if you are one of those handy types, O’Reilly publishing is releasing a new title called Making Things See as handbook for computer vision projects:

  • Learn about face recognition, gait analysis, and depth imaging
  • Analyze and manipulate point clouds
  • Track people with skeletonization and pose detection, and use blob tracking to detect objects
  • Use gestural interfaces for assistive technology
  • Create models for design and fabrication, using 3D scanning technology and a 3D printer
  • Delve into motion tracking for animation and games
  • Build every project in this book with inexpensive off-the-shelf components

Fun fun fun.
