Next ideas
I’ve been editing this as time goes on… Here is a list of ideas I’d like to pursue eventually, but feel free to get a jump-start on me:
- Stereo vision application running from a mobile device with a single camera. Use the acelerometer to find the correspondence between images, then take user input to cut computational power required for some unique real-time user benefits. First — a range finder as a proof of concept. Finding the z-depth is a fairly straiightforward technique for stereo vision applications.
- Completed.
I want to post my messages from an online dating site with statistics for consumption by the internet population. There are some gems lying in my soon-to-be full inbox, and before deletion I’d like to archive them somewhere. Putting them in public, with a bit of analysis, might lead to some useful tips for other aspiring wooers. - I would like to port my senior CS OpenGL project into WebGL. It’s a 3d paint application. It could be neat, though I doubt it could be profitable.
- Writing an Ebook – apparently the barrier to entry on major stores like Amazon, iTunes, Barnes and Noble, etc. is super low.
- A network-able lightswitch or outlet. Complete plug-in replacement of whatever is already installed. The companion to this is a phone application that can show you a view of consumption and let you control what’s happening there. Obvious drawback is the hardware design could be tricky. And what technology is cheap enough to put in every outlet?
