Open source technologies that will drive new innovations

I'm working on a project with one of the points in mind. Its an API that allows popular embedded cards (arduino, raspberry pi) to message each other through the web. It called bbedy (https://github.com/bliti/bbedy). This is version 0.2, and it is mostly functional.

The aim of the project is to enable the exchange of (sensor) data between devices. It is driven by a simple protocol I'm about to publish on github. The idea came to be when I did not have any way of exchanging data between two raspberry pi projects I was working on. I prototyped a very crude version and it worked very well. I decided to create an open source version that could be easily pushed to Heroku or any Django-enabled web host (like webfaction). ETA for the project is January 2014. Shoot me an email if you'd like to know more.

I would say this document is full of them. https://www.facebook.com/notes/spencer-dailey/eighth-public-...

I'm the author. You can ask questions @spencenow

Isn't OpenCV [and stuff on top of it] fairly simple for face recognition already?

Probably what will matter is not just detecting your face, but what you do with that, like https://github.com/thearn/webcam-pulse-detector

Anyway, would go a bit forward into computer vision/opencv, not just face detection, but body/objects detection using that information to build things.
