As per my usual habit, I'm now thinking up overcomplications of this.
I happen to have two unused ESP Cams boards/cameras here. <instead of random steering movements, feeding the camera output over the ESP's Wi-Fi to something handy running OpenCV to do person or perhaps even face detection, and having it follow people as they walk past would make it _way_ more creepy. And perhaps replace the LED with an RGB LED, and do face recognition so it lights up green when I am being tracked, and red when it's tracking unknown faces...
- dvh 2y agoI think the camera in esp32-cam already had face or motion detection

- tzs 2y ago> having it follow people as they walk past That reminds me of this amusing project [1] from 13 years ago. An artist had a sidewalk right next to his window. He put a curtain on the window that was only wide enough to cover about 20% of the window, with a motorized system to move the curtain side to side. A camera and software would recognize when someone was passing by and rapidly move the curtain to block their view in and then move it with them as the passed by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKhbUjVyKIc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKhbUjVyKIc
