Celebrating the wonders of geology

Inspired by the game 'Beyond a Steel Sky' I build N.032. The Idea was to build an AI that you can walk up to, it would recognize you, once it recognized you, it would look up a file on you, and you would be able to have a conversation with it. Project goal was to run everything on iPad

3D modeling robot for display.

Shortcuts

The stand was 3D printed in 12 separate parts then I glued them together and sanded them down, to get them ready for spray paint.

First view the N.032 stand!

Testing!

Once spray painted, looks much better, and I made a cool UI for the IPad.

When I was testing I realized, when it got dark the facial reconital failed due to light. So I added a smart home light, that would turn on for a brief second when the facial reconital is running. Now with even lighting on the face, results in dim light where even better then during the day.

Final product!

Aside from the hologram not working on video well because of frame rate issues. I believe the final product turned out really cool!

2024 Update

N.032 is being repurposed as a greenhouse & hydroponics control panel.
