[OLPC-Games] vision processing / juggling

[Brian Jordan]

Hi Nirav, brothers, OLPC-games,

Nirav Patel's GSoC project is vision processing for the XO (I believe
using a subset of the OpenCV library)... and rather good at colored
object / face recognition. (Eric, try the
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Colors! activity on an XO when you get a
chance... it can use the green power cord (or really any light in a
dark room) as drawing input)

I was thinking ... a learn to juggle activity may make use of this
processing to track progress and give tips (practice 1/2 balls again!,
etc). Greg -- you've done some vision processing and you are a
juggling guru... you might want to consider applying for a laptop at
http://projectdb.olpc.at/ to play with this sort of thing. :)

I wonder what best color / pattern could go on the balls to be easy to
track... possibly to track spin? :)

Brian
