What is IRIS

Iris 0.5 is a smart machine that interacts with you via audio, camera and visual effects. It aims to be installed in a workplace environment. Iris has 3 characters: guru, pirate and announcer. The files follow this nomination.

THE FILES

  • The .json files (“guru.json”, “rebel.json” and “announcer.json”) are the files where all the sentences the characters say are stored.
  • The script “guru-pirate.py” is the script that combines content of guru and pirate (from json files) to play their messages. It also integrates LEDs when the characters speak. When characters speak the LEDs light up and perform effects. This script runs when the camera detects motion.
  • The script "motion_detector_2.py" is used to detect motion from camera connected to raspberry pi.
  • The script "announcements.py" plays the messages of the Announcer (from json file)
  • The credits for this project are under the script “colophon.py”, they are read out loud with espeak when covering the camera with a finger for a few seconds.
  • “Motion.sh” is the script from where you bring everything to life. Just run ./motion.sh on your terminal.
