@broberg Great, thank you!
Is there a standard set of “most likely to work” -hardware (PI+Webcam+power hub) that would provide the least amount of hassle?

Hi all, first message to this Forum, thanks in advance for taking the time to help.
I’m somewhat experienced in integrating hardware and messing about Linux, but I am not sure if I want to build is possible so I wanted to check with you guys first.
After seeing all these cool MM projects, I wanted to build one for our kitchen/living room. The idea is to display a family calendar, messages, etc, pretty standard stuff. However, I would like to have some rough configurability on it - to change the mode to not showing personal information when we are entertaining people for example. The UI needs to be very simple of course, no cables or input devices allowed.
I got to thinking about a web cam and a microphone, to use gesture- and/or voice commands to provide input to the system.
Then I started to think that if there is a webcam, could the device also be used for video calls? It would be awesome for my daughter to be able to call the grandparents, or start a quick call to my partner while cooking.
So the feature list is:
Let me know what you think of this set-up!
