My mirror with facial recognition

[rjlinden]

Hi all!

I have added facial recognition to my mirror. I wrote a small java application which takes a picture, sends it to Amazon (AWS), tries to recognise the face and then displays a text with the IFTTT module. It also uses AWS to speak out the text to the user :)

I wrote a blog if you want to know more about the details:

But here is a video to show you the result (in Dutch) :)
