lifecam
=======
I was reading a [blog post](https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-productive-life-some-details-of-my-personal-infrastructure/) by Stephen Wolfram:

I thought it would be cool to build something like this, and maybe use
the photos to do some interesting photo analysis. I picked up an
[OpenMV H7 R2](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18982) with a
[wide-angle lens](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16778). I wrote a
[quick little program](main.py) to take a picture every thirty seconds
and write it to an image directory. This code collects those images
into a video.
I haven't used this for anything yet on account of not having a
case. I might try to replicate this with an OAK-D for the inside of my
house.
