BeagleStache

This application builds on an OpenCV face detection sample, but adds a black mustache on the faces detected and (now) uploads the picture to Twitter!

You can see it in action in a video interview at DESIGN East:

There was also a video taken at CES 2013

BeagleStache premiered at DESIGN East Theater during the Gadget Freak DIY Lab on Sep 19, 2012 and the current best existing how-to document is the slides.

The BeagleStache was also featured at Maker Faire NY 2012:

How to build one

Follow the instructions on the slides:

• Buy BeagleBone
• Buy PS3 Eye
• Buy BeagleBone LCD3 Cape
• Buy BeagleBone Battery Cape
• For tweeting, buy Iogear GWU627 Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter and tether it to WiFi
• Assemble it together into some kind of case
• Update BeagleBone to latest image
• Boot board and login to console (ssh or Gate One)
• Clone repository and build:

  root@beagleboard:~# git clone git://github.com/jadonk/stache
  root@beagleboard:~# cd stache
  root@beagleboard:~/stache# make && make install
  

Alternatively building on BeagleBoard-xM, instead of BeagleBone

I believe I used this SD card image.
