# DirectionalAC

Facial tracking-enabled climate control so you can stay cool wherever you are.

This is a project made for CSH's Imagine RIT 2019 project.

Directional AC utilizes OpenCV, a USB camera, an Arduino, a few servos, and three 3D printed brackets to enable an AC unit to automatically adjust its airstream to you wherever you are in the cabin.

## Building and running

```

$ cmake .

$ make

$ ./dirac

```

## Future Plans:

  - Improve the CAD

  - Build another one

    - Make two work as a pair. Keep scaling up the system from there.

  - Implement CUDA for better performance
