15-112 Project: Virtual Hot Corners
Programmed By: Ethan Chan
Date: Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Virtual Hot Corners is an application that takes in a video feed from a webcam, filters the live video to

This effectively creates 4 "virtual" buttons, open which the user can launch pre-defined actions, ranging from programs, music playlists, etc. 

Virtual Hot Corners requires the following Python Modules: 

As it was developed on Windows, the following modules were installed on windows as well. 
Preferably, Windows 7 with 32-bit Python.
