Once the Raspberry Pi camera module is released the speed of face detection on a Raspi should increase dramatically, though, leading to even more useful computer vision builds with the Raspberry Pi.

The face tracking desk fan has been created using a PC fan and web camera which have been connected to a Raspberry Pi mini PC to provide a refreshing blast of air directly to your face as you work.

This DIY pan and tilt camera uses a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino Uno, a pair of servos, and a USB webcam. The Pi streams video to a webpage and adds a few buttons to move the camera.

Having a safe is a great way to store your valuables, and now you can lock them away in a DIY, face-recognizing setup with a some free software, a Raspberry Pi, and a Pi camera.
