Side-note: The smart glasses pictured above are using a Flir brand thermal camera, but is sold by: ARSENZ ThermoGlass    in Taipei City   LWIR Technology,   80×60 @9FPS,  51° FOV (25° option)   (Could make for a stealthy Fever Inspector if the camera was just accurate enough) The Proposed Approach From  OpenCV: Facial-Feature-Detection Tutorial 2015 tutorial Use machine vision to identify a face, or a particular area on a face to measure. In the application of a single point IR sensor with long range optics: Use a servo driven Gimbal to point the sensor at your area of interest. RC Servo Driven Camera Gimbal This Gimbal assembly, or just the plastic bits are widely offered by Chinese sellers, this example is currently offered for $4.61 delivered in > a month.  You can get the identical thing from an Amazon warehouse in a few days for $17.95 I don't know what the mount was originally for, perhaps a drone camera. These RC servos can be

Makers Big & Small might Help Hospitals Fight Coronavirus   To summarize how one could help: There is electronics, hardware, software & expertise needed to help with various projects designed to better protect health workers and fill the equipment & supply shortages. One collaboration developing a number of projects (some sound some experimental):  In the first 2 weeks following the launch of Helpful Engineering there were 3,400+ volunteers, around the world, working on 35+ ongoing projects! Participants log in at:  helpfulengineering.slack.com (a virtual team platform) There's also a site for potential volunteers to sign up . You can see a gallery of Helpful Engineering projects both new and mature. Area that come to mind include: #discussion-ultraviolet-disinfection-system,  #project-temperature-detection,  # discussion-hardware- machining,  #skill- software -datascience (also frontend, backend, infosec & track-social-outbreak) Your equipment includin

(There's a shortage of detailed text in this page used in a live presentation) Until the Covid-19 Vaccine is available in 12-18 months, we are all at risk. Early statistics suggest the death rate from Corona is 20 times that of the Flu. 50 Million were quarantined by the Chinese government, some dragged out of their homes.  World Health Organization provided test kits to 60 countries, the U.S. declined. 124 hospital workers Quarantined after 1 Corona related case was treated at their Hospital . U.S. needs 10X the existing number of ventilators (700k) and 2X intensive care beds. Report to CDC: travelers with specific symptoms arriving from China:    Feeling feverish, or has an actual measured temperature of 100.4°F [38° C] or higher) One means of mass Infection screening is,  Fever Temperature Detection using a Thermal Camera. Airports have used these systems to screen passengers during several infectious diseases outbreaks. There may be an entrepr
