lifecam

I was reading a blog post by Stephen Wolfram:

But when I go to events like trade shows I typically bring a tiny camera with me, that takes a picture every half-minute. If I’m wearing one of those lanyard name tags I’ll typically clip the camera on the top of the name tag, among other things putting it at an ideal height to capture name tags of people I meet. When I write my personal trip report I’ll typically review the pictures, and sometimes copy a few into my trip notebook.

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 with a wide-angle lens. I wrote a quick little program 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.
