Purpose

In hybrid classes, remote students lose sight of the instructor whenever they move out of frame. This prototype keeps the presenter in view by tracking their face with a motorized camera mount.

Description

The prototype pairs a camera with a servo motor mount that pans to follow the instructor's face during a hybrid classroom session. A Python controller communicates with the Arduino over a serial connection to drive the servo, automatically adjusting the camera's orientation so remote participants keep a steady view of the presenter throughout the lesson.
