If you can afford a raspberry pi there ' s no reason not to give it a go . You sound much more experienced than me and I had no trouble picking up home assistant . I had no prior programming experience . Have both dots and and a google home working great via habridge linked in my post from yesterday . Open hab I never really got the gist of . <| sep |> Now just imagine the legs inside <| sep |> check the character zero and 2001 from this show <| sep |> Did anyone else notice he displayed the rotors rotating in the wrong directions ? <| sep |> that would be a real conversation starter in my office <| sep |> An immersive VR porn movie could be done with rendered images I guess , if the graphics were realistic enough . But there are currently ways to capture video in such a way that you can move around in it . It requires light field capturing , which honestly I don ' t really understand but it has something to do with recording light pathways rather than just their resulting images . They actually have light field cameras on the market now the big one is called the Lytro , but I ' ve yet to see anyone implrment it into VR .
