"Hack Skellington Steals the Show at 2023 Halloween Hackfest"
A DIY enthusiast named Matt Vella has created a Halloween project called Hack Skellington, a posable skeleton equipped with an eye socket-mounted camera, speaker, and servos that can scare trick-or-treaters or anyone who gets too close. Using ChatGPT and an AI-generated voice, Hack Skellington can recognize people, welcome them by name, make eye contact, and move its arm. The project is powered by a Radxa Zero SBC programmed in Viam, and the total cost was around $150.
