Space Face

Inspiration

If you are a parent, you probably don't want your kids to check out and buy stuff on Amazon without your consent. But, you still want them to choose what they would like on Amazon. This is a Chrome browser extension that doesn't let anyone proceed to the checkout page until a known face (ideally, parent's face) is recognized via the web camera. Also, because HackCMU's theme this year is space, we added space helmets on everyone's faces identified on the web camera when scanning for known people.

What it does & How we built it

Challenges we ran into

We did not have enough time to connect the three components we have, so rather than having a complete project that flows from one stage to another, we have three separate components.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to learn the different features that can be built into a Chrome extension and we built upon existing facial recognition model to add space helmet filter.

What we learned

We learned about how to build Chrome extensions and how facial recognition works using OpenCV. We also learned a little bit about how to connect the different components to have it flow from one stage to another.
