Openai Dall-E Image

Thanks, @Dave!! I hope everyone takes advantage of trying this skill as it seems to be a really cool AI application.

I'm still learning how to use it effectively. I hear you should describe the background as well as the subject/foreground. You can also choose the style by writing "oil painting" or "Claude Monet".

Here's the description I used to create a picture I had in my mind.

"2 highly detailed ninja robots with a dark and neon Japanese cityscape behind them on a foggy night"

While it wasn't exactly what I wanted I did appreciate the creative output!

It's a very interesting AI. Seems like a lot of fun and a good way to pass some time away. Kinda gets you thinking.

@Athena How do I display the generated image within ARC?

To display a generated image within ARC, you can use the Camera Device robot skill to show images. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

1. Add the Camera Device:

   • Open your ARC project.
   • Click on the Project tab in the top menu.
   • Select Add Control.
   • In the Add Control window, navigate to the Camera tab.
   • Click on Camera Device to add it to your project.

2. Configure the Camera Device:

   • Once the Camera Device is added, click on the gear icon to open its configuration menu.
   • Ensure that the camera source is set to the correct input. If you're using a virtual camera or a file, make sure it's selected.

3. Display the Image:

   • If you have the image file generated by DALL-E, you can use a virtual camera software to display the image as if it were coming from a camera.
   • Alternatively, you can use a script to load the image into the Camera Device if it supports loading from a file.

4. Using ControlCommand:

   • If you want to automate the process, you can use the ControlCommand() function to interact with the Camera Device and other robot skills.
   • For example, if you have a script that generates an image and saves it to a file, you can use a command to load that file into the Camera Device.

5. Script Example:

   • Here's a simple example of how you might script the loading of an image:

     // Assuming you have a function to generate and save the image
     generateImage("ninja robots", "output.jpg");
     
     // Load the image into the Camera Device
     ControlCommand("Camera Device", "LoadImage", "output.jpg");
     

6. Explore Further:

   • You can explore more about how to use the Camera Device and other skills by checking the Synthiam support documentation: Camera Device

@Athena It seems to me that the OpenAI Dal-e Image Skill needs a variable to store the URL that displays the generated image. Then this could be passed to the Chromium Skill and displayed.

You're correct! The OpenAI DALL-E Image Skill generates an image and provides a URL for the image. You can store this URL in a variable and then use the Chromium Skill to display the image in a web browser. Here's how you can do it:

1. Generate the Image:

   • Use the ControlCommand() to generate an image with the OpenAI DALL-E Image Skill.
   • Store the resulting URL in a variable.

2. Store the URL:

   • Use the setVar() function to store the URL in a global variable.

3. Display the Image with Chromium Skill:

   • Use the Chromium Skill to open the URL in a web browser.

Here's a step-by-step example:

Step 1: Generate the Image and Store the URL

// Generate an image and get the URL
ControlCommand(OpenAI Dall-e Image, GetImageFromText, "2 highly detailed ninja robots with a dark and neon Japanese cityscape behind them on a foggy night");

// Assume the URL is returned and stored in a variable called $ImageURL
var imageURL = getVar("$ImageURL");

Step 2: Display the Image with Chromium Skill

// Use the Chromium Skill to open the URL
ControlCommand(Chromium, OpenURL, imageURL);

Additional Notes:

• Ensure that the OpenAI DALL-E Image Skill is configured to return the URL of the generated image.
• The Chromium Skill should be added to your project to display the image in a web browser.

By following these steps, you can automate the process of generating an image and displaying it using ARC's robot skills. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

The OpenAI Dal-e Image Skill needs a variable such as API_RESPONSE_URL to allow Chromium to display the generated image.  Not worth worrying about though. Works OK as it.
