In this workshop, we’ll show you to build a modified webcam apparatus, set on servos attached to an Arduino, that will identify faces using Computer Vision. Once a face has been identified using OpenCV, the servos will move the camera to ‘follow’ the face around while it’s still in view. This simple DIY solution can easily be modified for more advanced security system/home automation scenarios as well as incorporated into face-tracking robots, and we’ll walk you through all the hardware and code involved in detail.
