#The Projet# Since I moved to Sao Paulo(Brazil) , I decided to make my house as geek as it can get.

This project final objective is to create a house automation system inspired in sci-fi movies , the first part of the project that is here is the facial recognition and identification system , that will enable you to register guests , and automatically set a playlist and a art slideshow based on their taste.

This first part of the project , identify faces with OpenCV and recognize them with face.com API.
