Yesterday night I dreamed of three Aibos, old models. I was supposed to load them on some truck, but they ended up on some small road downhill, stuck and almost static. Until one fell and pushed another dog into the water surrounding the road. Geez !!
Also yesterday night I met Sergio and together we talked about what would be a cool project to do with Aibo. The web-camera thing, as it is, is obviously boring.. especially if nobody’s home. I did try also the record shots, every 4 seconds, one day when I had some activity in my apt. But that din’t lead to anything particularly interesting. If anything, most shots tend to be boring ! We talked about giving the ability to make the dog move from a web interface. It’s not difficult to move it, but to allow more than one person to do it it’s a problem. Also the dog needs maintenance, and the view form the dog’s camera is not adequate to have it wander around safely, especially at the web-camera’s frame-rate. Plus it’s probably just not as fun as seeing the dog from the outside.
For the time being I’ll keep working on the basic technical aspects. Recently I’ve been quite busy, and sleepy. In the next few days I hope I’ll be able to make some steps forward.
