We all have played Rock, Paper, and Scissors game at least once. It’s a very simple game where each player picks one of the three objects (Rock, Paper, and Scissor) making the appropriate hand shape on a count of three, and these rules are applied to decide the winner:

So in today’s tutorial…

In this tutorial, we are going to use OpenCV and Deep Learning models to accurately identify the gender and age of a person from a real-time video stream. The deep learning age and gender detector model that we are going to use today was implemented and trained by Levi and Hassner in their 2015 publication. Age and Gender detection is a two-step process:

Thermal imaging is considered to be one of those state-of-the-art technologies in computer vision that in the modern-day scenario finds its application in various places. As the pandemic situation worsens in 2021, more and more noncontact temperature detection tools are in demand. A thermal temperature sensor that can measure the temperature of the human body can…

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has seriously affected the world and there is no end to it. To limit the spread of the virus, mandatory face-mask rules are now becoming more common in public places around the world. Additionally, many retail stores and other public service providers require customers to wear face masks.

In today’s tutorial, we…

As you know, IFTTT recently announced their “Pro” subscription and restrictions on free accounts. Under IFTTT’s new subscription policy, you can only have 3 “custom” applets created/enabled at any time – which is quite a downgrade from their unlimited free plan.

Ever wondered if there was a way to make Google Assistant-controlled projects…

Raspberry Pi is a small or mini-computer that can be used in different types of small to large embedded, IoT, Industrial IoT applications. As this is a computer that could run different operating systems, a shutdown of this minicomputer is an important thing to ensure that everything is saved, the operating system properly ended all required tasks, and it is safe to turn the…

Blynk is an easy-to-use IoT platform using which you can easily build graphic interfaces for all your projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets. But the issue while using the Blynk app is the latency and limited energy. This problem can be solved by using a Blynk local server. Blynk local server provides unlimited energy and reduces latency.

Developed by Diodes Delight, Piunora is a compact and easy-to-use development board for electronics prototyping with Linux. This tiny board has a familiar form factor, legible pin labels, and a design that makes it well-suited to be used in space-constrained applications.

The board comes with powerful peripherals for rapid prototyping and…

WhatsApp is one of the most popular cross-platform messaging tools that is used by a vast majority of people. Even though its recent privacy policy update came as an unpleasant surprise for many people, the user base WhatsApp still holds good and nearly 2 billion people use WhatsApp today. This huge user base has attracted many medium and large-scale businesses to use…

Text-to-speech (TTS) is a type of speech synthesis program that is used to produce a spoken sound version of the text, such as a document file or a Web page. TTS can make it easier for a visually impaired person to interpret computer display information or can be used to improve the comprehension of a text message. Other than that, it can be used to make your robot speak or…

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the launch of its new development board, the Raspberry Pi Pico. Being one of the first microcontroller-class products from Raspberry Pi, this compact and low-cost board is built on a brand-new chip called RP2040 which was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation itself. The RP2040 is a Dual-core Cortex-M0+ processor with 2MB…
