What do I spy with my AI?

This workspace implements Amazon Web Services Rekognition. The application uses your device video camera. When you press Analyze the current screen will be analyzed to determine what types of objects are identified. The AI will then tell you all about it using human speech through the speakers on your device.

Making it work

First, create your own space:

• Click Fork on the ribbon to make a copy of the original space
• Click Update on the ribbon to update public permissions. To keep your API key private, the Open and Modify permissions should be unchecked.

Next, create a AWS account and IAM user with perimssions to Rekognition:

• Sign up for an account at aws.amazon.com, if you don’t already have one
• Navigate to IAM Identitiy and Access Management
• Create a new IAM user with permissions to Rekognition
• Use the credentials provided when you created the IAM user to update the config.json file with your keys

Finally, you’re ready to launch your own copy of the app. You can either use the Launch menu or simply use your phone, tablet, or a laptop with a camera to browse to the run URL for your new workspace.
