Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Multiple layouts/configs
-
The core system allows a module to switch modules based on a class. So in theory, we could simply built a module which switches modules on or off based on a time (or something else …)
-
@MichMich Ah, I hadn’t even thought of that! I will look into it, probably after exams.
-
Hand gestures anyone? :)
-
@KirAsh4 i prefer voice: “show me the traffic information” - but gestures would be awesome too. :)
-
Wanted to implement that. I still have a small sensor I bought for it laying around but I am now in favor of voice commands :D
-
Yes voice commands would be fine too, I was thinking more in terms of ‘in addition to voice commands …’ Imagine being able to ‘wave’ things away from the screen.
I thought of that last night while working on the Calendar module. One thing that came to mind was, what if it displays a notification when an event is about to happen (say at 60, 30, 15 minutes prior to the event), much like the Google Calendar will send you reminders (if set).
At present state, there is no easy way for the user to dismiss that notification, it’s all done in the config with a semi-fixed timer. So I can display a popup and hide it after x-time. But what if the user could do that … one way is to integrate a button the user could press to acknowledge the popup … then I thought, what if they can simply ‘wave it away’ … hence hand gestures. :)
-
@KirAsh4 i thought about a touchless sensor for that :)
-
-
thumbs up on that! I started a new topic but discovered that here afterwards.
Would be the perfect solution if we can rotat the visible information on the screen with fixed rotation value, voice control, sensor or external trigger if the mirror is listening to some other devices for example! :D
Please keep working on that issue :D

What about the raspberry pi skywriter (pimoroni)?
