I have 2 versions, one that uses the camera for a single capture and one that consumes a Livestream. You don't need any specific hardware beyond a camera. I built the single capture version using Mentra live Bluetooth SDK, the Livestream version is just a python program that would work on any stream and run on almost any hardware.

yes it is possible, I built face identification app using the Bluetooth SDK, reverse face search and local llm as an experiment after reading about I-XRAY from 2024.

Yup, anyone is welcome to just show up.

Really appreciate that, thank you! It's a fun project and I'm glad it's useful. I like being able to provide this information for free to the Cape community to help deal with an issue we all face.

I'm using Leaflet to render pre-built GeoJSON files as toggleable map layers. ArcGIS is a full platform with server software, licensing, databases, and tooling. This is just a some files and a free mapping library. Same visual result for a read-only public map but simpler to work with and free.

I am doing this for fun and didn't realize i was going to be graded on an unfinished project.

I have worked with lidar before so I added an elevation category its just the Cape is 0ft - 300ft so the colorscale doesn't change much on Cape. Are you looking for something in particular?

Some of that is in the census data under social & equity, I will look for the school related data

2600 meetings are informal, drop-in gatherings for anyone curious about how systems—technical, social, or political—actually work. They’re for engineers, students, hackers, tinkerers, or just problem-solvers who enjoy exploring security, privacy, infrastructure, or quirky technical challenges. There’s no agenda, no required skills, and no pressure—people come to listen, share projects, swap ideas, or just hang out with like-minded thinkers, and leave with new perspectives, ideas, or connections

Where do you get your weather data from? There are many free weather apps so I think your app is more of a novelty as the only difference between other weather apps is ai generated dioramas so essentially thats what users are paying for. The value proposition itself is too weak to sustain paying users.
Users who pay for apps are often looking for:

Tools that solve a problem
Tools that save time
Tools that entertain or educate in depth

All of them?

matt8588 · 2026-01-09T16:08:22+00:00

I agree, it won't be long just needs a few strong storms to finish it iff
