As an R&D Engineer it is always challenging to find your way into playing with tech and immersing yourself in what is out there and is of general interest. Growing up by only being exposed to arcade games that required the famous 50c coin, it has been my ambition to one day play pacman for free. This also came with the age old embarrassment every time as a family we had to look at old childhood photos. Of course building the game was interesting at first but so what ? How about playing pacman with your hand…. And better yet with this knowledge of how to get the most out of a webcam, imagine building facial recognition that inadvertently can be further used for emergency situations or better yet check wedding photos to see who was really happy at your wedding.
