Added the trans-consciousness messaging protocol to the Halovision plugin to test parts of the REM-detection algorithm with background motion. An EEG device is no longer required to type by blinking in Morse code patterns. Any old webcam will do the trick and can be used as a keyboard on which you type just by blinking at it in Morse code patters:
The haarcascade classifier should be selected and once the TCMP box is checked, any movement above 300 (or the Dot Threshold) counts as a dot, and any movement above 600 (or the Dash Threshold) is considered a dash.
Just takes a bit of practice and stillness:
Might be fun to make an HID (Human Interface Device) keyboard driver next…

This would in turn notify [Michael] that he was in fact dreaming and was safe to tie a cape around his neck and take a flying leap from a tall building. […]
