PLAY on your mobile device (this version is not designed for desktop)https://editor.p5js.org/heyitshelen/full/k83RTDFua

Instructions:

  1. Press the 'Generate Colour' button to generate a random colour.
  2. Find an object nearby that matches the random colour.
  3. Press the 'Snapshot it!' button when you find a match!

Obviously I'm having too much fun with this, as I continued to develop this when I got back home. >_<

Through this second iteration, I also learnt how to use the saveCanvas() function, setting variables and creating buttons.

Some additions:

  • Got the live video feed to come from the rear camera of the phone
  • Added a button to generate random colour
  • Added a button to save a screenshot when a match is made - this is still manually done at the moment by the user. Haven't implemented OpenCV function yet to auto-detect colour match.
  • When the snapshot button is activated, a PNG file is saved to the user's phone

The whole user experience was much more user-friendly. Now that I'm using the rear camera, I can actually scan around the room with my phone to look for objects that matched the random colour on screen.
