I was hoping that this would be someone's really cool resume, but this is interesting, nonetheless.

Same, I expected it to be someones resume built in the unreal engine.

Was actually hoping for an alternative to OpenCV that wasn't created in the 90s.

libccv perhaps?

Dlib has a decent set of features, a few even better to OpenCV in my opinion.

Though, at the end of the day, there is no reason why you can't use both.

What problems do you see with opencv?

Nothing, actually, it's a quality library, just old.

I can think of a few algorithms that have changed or been created since the 1990s so I have to assume there's something that can be done to optimize it.

There's also a severe lack of "in-browser" CV solutions (which could be fun), instead opting for binding OpenCV in the server-side.

Same here. I was thinking of how long it would take us before the inflation in fancy CVs and resumés would force recruitment agencies to invest in rendering farms and full-body VR suits in order to read job applications.

I don't mean to criticise you personally, because I have done the same thing, but: Comments about what someone thought the title meant are very common and not interesting in any way.

I disagree. Most of the reason that people click on anything on this site is directly because of the title, so if I have particular expectations that the title fails to meet, then it's fair game for commenting. I don't think it's fair to assert that what you find common and uninteresting is irrelevant to someone else.
