I'm pretty sure it exists because of RFC2324 hyper text coffee pot control protocol

Fun fact, first webcam was a series of updating stills of an actual coffee pot so some engineers would know if there was coffee made.

Technically, all video is a series of updating stills.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

True, but most streaming media now is a bunch of stills with the changes for each individual frame between them.

True, but webcams still just deliver raw frames (or compressed frames in the case of MJPEG).

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months ago

With that, plus image recognition, plus a control system, you could use rfc2324 to implement the digital control side

Though I think I'd use weight, temperature, and flow sensors for easier service implementation

And then plug those values into a image generation service to give users a visually intuitive way to see if there's cooffe or not!
