In October, one of the most famous festivities of the year that the United States has managed to export to the entire world takes place, and Halloween is already a holiday for many people who are looking for the perfect way to have a scary day even if it is not a tradition. in certain countries. And as in all cases, there are people who take this tradition to another level thanks to the most current technology, and to offer a different day for those who go to ask for candy at their house, a Youtuber has created a very peculiar, since it uses a Raspberry Pi along with a AI so you can talk to anyone.
The projects that a Raspberry Pi They are unlimited, and this SBC is capable of offering us enough power to be able to create a large number of devices that come to mind, and there are those who apply it in the most creative way possible. If we also add to this one of the technologies that are currently booming, such as the AIsince when combined with this computer, it is capable of creating a large number of impressive projects, since it offers the ability to add extremely innovative functions.
A very friendly ghost created to play trick or treat
Halloween is one of the festivities that has had the greatest reception in many countries, but it is clear that it is not the same as where it originates, the United States, where this day is capable of maximizing the creativity of a large number of people, whether by the costumes they use, the way they decorate their houses or the creations they make. And in this case we are faced with the third option, since the Youtuber NathanBuildsDIY You have created your project (with plenty of time) to arrive at Halloween fully prepared.
The creation itself may seem quite simple, since it is a Raspberry Pi that uses a AI to be able to respond and talk to those who interact with the ghost, but behind it there is quite a lot of work, since it is not something easy to do. The system incorporates a series of components to be able to function in addition to the Raspberry itself, and it uses a distance sensor to detect people approaching, once they are close a microphone listens to the audio that is translated into text, and then From this the AI analyzes the text and prepares the answers.
The software used to create this device is based, as we can well imagine, on a program that converts voice to text and vice versa called Vosk, while the artificial intelligence that does all the processing is the one created by Google, Gemini. The structure of the doll is created using a 3D printer, and the creator has left in the video and Github everything necessary to be able to replicate it, although in Spain and other countries it is not a tradition to do these things, it is still an interesting proposal if we want to take Halloween seriously.
