Show HN: Turn Android into AI Blind Camera

The cameras don’t watch over, just feel and tell… When the video is needed indeed, but not always. So can we make a camera which is just blind and still tell things in other ways: how long have I studied, how often I do the work-out, etc…

Here is the app goes online on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sharpai.ai... (Note: don’t try to search on Google play, the keyword “blind camera” just doesn’t work, click on the above link is the way to download the app on Google play, if you still like it after reading this article. ) The first screen after installed and lunched the “Blind Camera” app. It is a very simple GUI, the only option you can choose is the front or rear camera. (don’t worry about it, the camera doesn't see the image anymore, it processes the data that came out from sensors and throws it away immediately after processing it. Never appear to other apps or go out from the devices.) After sitting the mobile on my desk for a while, a green bar appears on the bottom under 12:00. This indicates how long I have been “Here” for writing this article, at 12:00 pm, California, Silicon Valley. While staying longer, there is a flame that comes from the lamp. Flame is bigger while staying longer.

Last sentence: the team is working on an incoming “teachable” version, which will allow the end-user to tech the “Blind Camera” to recognize “action” blindly, the “teaching” should be also very easy: sitting and working.
