How We Built Our Facial Recognition Ferris Wheel - DZone AI

At Coolest Projects 2018, we showcased the Wia platform with a facial recognition ferris wheel -- if you're smiling, the wheel turns; if you're not smiling, it stops. Today, we're going to talk about how we built this project, and maybe you'll be inspired to build something like it! For the Ferris wheel itself, we decided to go with this Lego kit. It took about 7 hours or so to complete. This kit has an optional add-on motor, but we decided to create our own solution.
