This is anything I’ve desired with do for a long time, yet have not had the income with realize it, however, today with all the Raspberry Pi device almost accessible at about $ 35, I think I will create it come a fact.

I’d love with be capable with hang a screen found on the wall (with a Raspberry pi connected with the back of it) which does the following through voice control:

• Shows a slideshow of pictures it grabs from someplace found on the network (possibly even from Flickr?)
• Shows a weather page with a extended range forecast
• Plays web radio stations
• Plays videos from Youtube
• Shows a information page with newest updates
• Displays RSS feeds
• Shows a calendar

I’m certain I’ll come up with a bunch more tips, plus do not have idea whether I can create it function, however, provided the cost of the hardware as well as the open source nature of the program, I reckon we can do this for about $ 220!

Imagine being capable with state “Computer, show me the weather” or “Computer, show me the news”, or “Computer, show me images from Flicker of schnauzers”

The notice boggles…..
