Face Following Fan

With iPhone camera, it detect your face and rotate fan to you.

How it works

It use HTML5 MultiMedia to use iPone camera.

Materials

Smartphone(We use an iPhone, but also Android is ok)

  • obniz
  • Servo motor
  • Small USB Fan
  • USB <-> Pin header
  • Pin header
  • Cable
  • USB-Cable
  • USB-Adaptor

Make Hardware

Only 3 Steps is here.

Make Software

  1. With HTML5 MultiMedia , get your camera data.
  2. Face detect with camera data and OpenCV.
  3. Detect x position of your face and rotate the servo motor.
