[Music]
the software that I'm running is a
software that I wrote you know we we
just got commands that move the camera
tell it to like pan right or pan left
finds a face there's a a few lines of
code that'll zoom in on the face and uh
send the image of the face to uh a
server that's going to convert it into
text and then return the text and read
the text out loud do you guys have a
second what okay well so this is a
surveillance camera that will snap a
picture of you and then it will speak
out what it sees what really yeah and if
we if you have a second and you let us
give it a whirl you can hear what it
will say about you
[Music]
yeah
[Music]
just a heads up it's going to be weird
cuz it like will take like different
bits of what it sees and he said perhaps
a travel a two and a government
subsequently the travel is known to sum
as crocky the two is not a one and the
government yearns for waste time next
the travel is not a Notting traveled
over or through next it manifests right
public conveyance are is that is that
true are you traveling yeah I come like
that's weird yeah I'm actually
leaving today actually yeah I feel over
from London I think it on your coat
that's really cool Charlie do it no you
got to do
[Music]
it probably it is a knowledge acquiring
by learning and instruction probably it
is made from the activities of educating
or instructing in brief it evokes
College learning are you a college
graduate I just graduated you just
graduated
college are you kidding me that one's
insane undoubtedly the Nature has a life
for example it evokes nurturing in other
words it remains a mother and father of
us all for instance it Evol original
okay I was going to say
yeah no no it's not you I'm sorry I'm
looking I'm looking at the image that it
sent and yeah you know it didn't
actually even get your face it's just
the bushes so you know one one of the
one part of the computer vision is
working quite well the other part is
like a little more hit or miss it's
interesting was pretty cool thank you
Ross by the
way you want to do one more well
actually we're going to get uh oh yeah
we're GNA have we're GNA have Fred all
right stand before the Gaze of the robot
so getting judged by a human isn't
enough I got to get judged by Machinery
now okay understandable that's exactly
right frequently the detail evokes
individual of course it evokes intricacy
Beyond it evokes description probably it
is known to some as Commander as
Commander so we got we got rare
something about
Antiquity you're apparently a rare breed
and a commander of sorts I guess I
there's a there's a kernel of Truth in
there I hope so yeah sure I'll take any
one of those as long as it's not
berating me with wagging finger I'm good
to
[Music]
go this is you know this technology like
gives rise to a lot of questions like I
think that's the the whole point and why
why you're doing these projects both of
you um so what
is it that you're you're thinking about
when we're thinking about the way that
machines look at us you know I guess
it's hard to say if the machine you use
the word thinking right yeah it's habit
it's hard right no it is and it's it's
hard to say if the machine is is doing
anything like that it might be but we
really don't know and the thing is like
there's a really famous expression I
don't remember who said this but you
know to ask whether a machine can think
is like asking whether a submarine can
swim
right it's accomplishing the act of
swimming but it's doing it quite
differently than a human would so what
is the future of your work what how do
you see this you know logically
culminating what is what is the ultimate
Ross and Jean bot going to
do you know that's hard to say at this
point I I think we're both still at the
phase where we're exploring the
possibilities of the technology that
exists right now and thinking about what
we might be able to do in a few years
when that technology is is that much
better is this a good distance yeah it
actually already got him so it's oh it
already snapped a picture saw his face
it saw your face when you weren't
looking that's what surveillance is all
about you never know when it's watching
nice 21st century judgment I love
[Music]
it
the
