Jarvis receives commands from a remote control

Been a wicked long time since my last video, but I have been busy developing jarvis. More videos are coming.
This video is to show a new means of communication to Jarvis using a remote control!! Cool!!!

Project Jarvis: Jarvis learns to IM

I have opened a new line of communication with Jarvis using instant message. All of the same commands as twitter, just sending them through IM for instant response time.

Jarvis integrates with my netflix account to let me know when a new movie has been shipped. I can also ask you what movies I have at home, whats the next movies in my queue, recent activity, and instant view queue.

POC: Jarvis controls a light

Here is a proof of concept of Jarvis controlling a light in my apartment.

Jarvis helps me with my migraines

When I get a migraine they are really tough. I get loss of vision as a precursor to the pain and queasiness. Once I start to see those vision changes its a race to get home as quickly as possible, but I also like to notify people that I am getting them, as it put me out of communication for an extended period of time. Its hard for me to do because half my vision is gone and I can't really see the keyboard in front of me. I've taught jarvis that when I tell him I am getting a migraine, he will notify people for me via text, email, twitter and facebook.

Jarvis goes online

I got jarvis online and working today and responding to commands. check out the video that follows.

What is Project Jarvis

So I had this idea. What if my apartment and the things inside of your house, lights, appliances, computers, etc, could twitter? What if I could twitter back?

The idea of Project Jarvis is using Mac OS X scripting and twitter to creating a two way communication between me and my apartment. Check on the status of things, let me know when specific things happen, do things I ask it to do, wake me up in the morning, etc.

I chose "Jarvis" because of one my of favorite movies, "Iron Man". In the film, Tony Spark speaks with his house, named Jarvis. I love the idea of this and thought it would be fun to make it into a reality (to some degree of course). :D
