Voice/motion control

[coolbotic]

New to the forum and I am looking to make one of these mirrors for a while but would love to add some extra function to mine for a school project and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to achieve some of this…

Motion control - This was my first idea when I saw these, I wanted to put a leap motion controller in the mirror and use it as a mouse as such to scroll through social feeds and move and hide elements of the page until I found that you are unable to use the leap motion with the raspberry PI as it does not have the right specs and have been looking for a new motion detector that will work with the pi or a more powerfully micro computer, if you have any ideas I would love to hear them!!! - https://www.leapmotion.com/

Voice detection - I was looking around and saw this page about this http://docs.smart-mirror.io and was wondering if anyone had tried this or something like this and how well it worked !?!?!

Thanks James

How long is this to do list XD Need it for a school project and would love to have it done as it would be sooooo cool !!!

Well, you could try to built it yourself ofcourse.

[coolbotic]

Hahaha yes I could TRY, I have studied HTML, CSS and Javascript but I don’t think I could do it with ease but I’ll give it a go XD

Yes, I looked into that. It seems it doesn’t work with Electron on the Raspberry Pi and has an API limit.

Give it a try, and if it does work, let me know and I’ll build a module.

Oh right hmmmm what about this https://github.com/thomascullen/voicebox As you can tell i’m really not sure what I am looking for haha XD
