Through practical project work the module explores the evolution of the Internet of Things, the emergence of Pervasive Media and the application of Physical Computing. Projects are framed within a critical exploration of space as a cultural, social and technological phenomenon and models of architecture, communities and personal identity.

In my previous post, I described the development of a web interface that used Javascript to access Microsoft’s Cognitive Services Azure Face API. This interface allowed an image of a face to be captured via a web-cam and identified against a previously trained Person Group. Now that this basic system is functioning as expected, I… Read More »

The API provides functionality to implement face detection (“detect one or more human faces in an image and get back face rectangles… Read More »
In my previous post, I developed some Python scripts which used Microsoft’s Azure Face API (Microsoft, no date) to train and recognise faces. Whilst the scripts functioned in the way I intended, the usability of the Python scripts for face recognition is not ideal for a number of reasons. To overcome these weaknesses, I decided… Read More »
