Nibl is complete! Check out the demo video:

Jason and I had to lift our shirts up during the demo in order for the heat-seaking to even work at a close range. Despite the sexy-factor, the teaching staff didn’t love that. So, we are switching to processing camera images on a visual cue. We bought two bright, uniquely colored gift bags at CVS. We have nicknamed them Cosmo and Wanda. From some pictures of Cosmo and Wanda, we’ve figured out what ratios of RGB values identify the colors well. Using this information, we will process images to see how much Cosmo and Wanda they have, and find their “center of mass.”

We had a new idea that we are very excited about! Self-timers on cameras are a huge pain. Balancing iPhones on your bookshelf, running over to your group, waiting awkwardly for 30 seconds because you have a poor conception of time… Rough.
