Recent Royal College of Art (RCA) design graduate David Hedberg's Smile TV is more than a loving homage to the good old 'campfire inside the living room.' Made from an open frame CRT monitor and equipped with a computer vision system, the unsuspecting television set turns the medium's engagement pattern on its head: instead of making you smile at on-screen silliness, you have to "smile to watch." Only when you do - and for as long as you do - will Smile TV reveal its otherwise scrambled broadcast. "This project grew out from experimenting with facial recognition and image manipulation," Hedberg explains over email.

"this project is bringing the power of computer vision and image processing to the Web. By extending the spec of Media Capture and Streams, the web developers can write video processing related applications in better way. The primary idea is to incorporate Worker-based JavaScript video processing with MediaStreamTrack."

"The R&D Prototyping team has recently built an internal prototype for BBC Vision called the Mythology Engine. It's a proof-of-concept for a website that represents BBC drama on the web letting you explore our dramas, catch up on story-lines, discover new characters and share what you find. "

Computer vision has made significant progress in recent decades, with steady improvements in the performance and robustness of computational methods for real-time detection, recognition, tracking, and modeling
