Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I have a rail line right under my apartment, so I built a small computer vision app running on a Rasperry Pi which records each train passing, and tries to stitch an image of it.

It has a frontend at https://trains.jo-m.ch/.

Edit: it's currently raining and the rain drops are disturbing the images a bit.

I wonder if there's open data or an open API for the schedule or location information. That way, you could include information on which train is which.

Yes, the APIs are there, with minute accurate real time data. Would just have to do it ;)
