Set Camera Timer Using OpenCV-Python

I love this stuff, really shows you how deep engagement on articles actually is. What are the odds it's upvoted by title alone?

I nearly upvoted it on the title. I fully expected it to be some cool (but useless) thing involving setting a camera timer if it saw some particular image at the target within the shot. That wouldn't be too far off from a lot of HN content.

Instead it appears to be using the keyboard as a trigger and opencv to print text over an image? That doesn't exactly fit here. I suspect people interpreted the title as something far more interesting.

This is fun primer for OpenCV but I'm not sure I understand why you'd want to do this.

Seriously, how is this on the front page of HN? If you know anything about OpenCV, this is completely trivial and not really useful in any way. If you don't know anything about OpenCV... well maybe you shouldn't be upvoting things you don't really know much about?

But I guess this will help me learn the AI, so I guess I'll upvote it after all... /s

This is nice and all, but what is the reason for it being on the front page of Hacker News?

it has ai in the url,opencv/camera in the title. i think the bots may have boosted this one by mistake
