Target-Tracking, Voice-Activated Camera
For a final project in a course on embedded systems and microcontrollers, my buddy Jason and I decided to make a target-tracking, voice-activated camera. The idea was to create a tool to empower home film-makers and photographers to get the perfect shot without adjusting ten screws on a tripod or awkwardly waiting for self-timers. Instead, … Continue reading “Target-Tracking, Voice-Activated Camera”
