[Question #264567]: Using Sikuli to Assist with Visual Impairment

 

New question #264567 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/264567

I have used Sikuli in the past to automate a number of individual processes so I'm familiar with the IDE and how to make basic scripts.

Due to a traumatic brain injury I now have limited ability to sit in front of a computer screen and I'm interested in knowing if there is an example of using Sikuli as a "computer vision" assistant.

In essence, I'd like to define a number of images (things to look for) and have Sikuli perform an "infinite loop" looking for any of the images of interest.  If an image match is found, I'd like Sikuli to launch an external process (a batch file, for example) passing parameters of which image was found and the (x,y) coordinates of where the image was found - and then immediately continue "looking" for the next appearance of one of the images of interest.

In essence, I'd like Sikuli to be my "eyes" and watch the screen for me - and then notify me (or do something, which I can code externally) if one of the items show up.

If anyone has done something similar, I'd appreciate any input you might have.

Thanks!
