“This Python library (and README) will help you to create just about the coolest camera you’ve ever seen. From scratch. Yourself. No, seriously. I wrote this to enable people who have NEVER written a line of code to build their very own magicitasital camera, and this README will walk you through it. Instead of just showing you a picture, this camera will actually describe what it sees when you take a picture (how cool is that?) Together, we’ll take a basic Raspberry Pi computer running Linux, and use it to write a Python program which accesses a free Microsoft API service to analyze photographs nearly instantaneously. The result we’ll render on a basic LCD display from Adafruit (just about the coolest place on the internet for an IOT geek). Once we’re done, you’ll have a compact device you can carry around and show to friends, taking pictures and amazing them with how awesome a tiny computer like that can be!”
