Lined up my prototype devices a la March of Progress with some old headbands for scale, as the previous photo shoot looked a bit shopped!
Category: Halovision
A wild herd of INSPECs appeared! To keep moving forward while waiting for new chips, I’ve dusted off some old chips (with only 1 MB of memory vs. 32 MB in the new chips), and hope to get some out for testing soon.
Updated installer requirement to .NET Framework 4.8.
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…

Updated the firmware with the pixel diff part of the halovision algorithm running fast as lightning in C. My trusty lab partner helping with a quick calibration test.
Set the default idle tick configuration to 8.
Added a config option for the amount of idle ticks that need to pass before a new eye movement is counted and saved changed frames to jpg instead of png when the Record Video checkbox is checked.
Added an option to make the halovision form the top-most window and fixed an issue when closing while video is streaming.
Optimized memory usage as it was still growing on some systems. And added detail to the motion highlighting.
Added configuration options for eye movement minimum and maximum values with optional channels that can be enabled.
