Thanks... So after you train an object, what do you do then? Do you have a script example on how to recognize an object and speak what it is... kinda lost after the learn new object part... how do you get ARC to associate a trained object with a name of it.... Sorry I am a bit lost after on using the camera stuff in general....
Thanks Richard
The large red text on the train form that says "experimental" and the post regarding the release of this feature explains that it is under development. Those features will be released shortly as we are in r&d currently.
Hey DJ... I was aware it was still in development... I was just confused because @winstn60 said he was able to use it in a script to recognise his own face and speak his name (I mean just using your object recognition training)... I was just curious on how he did it...
Thanks Richard
Hi Richard its obviously experimental as DJ says and it will only recognize one object. You enter Say ("Hello Human" ) into the script tracking box on the camera control after training an object and that's it. When it see's the object it will say Hello Human.
The camera control is one of the most powerful controls on ARC and well worth spending some time on
Soon as the next version passes testing, there is script support and object library. It's done but in testing right now
give it a few days. I'm also in Washington currently so it'll be a few days until I have time to sign off on it
Wow awesome... got it to work... Yes please DJ, keep developing this...
@winstn60 .... thanks
Great News
Hi DJ.. Have you consider to incorporate the face recognition software shown here by Justin, to ARC? That would be awesome!... And works pretty well...
