“Sikuli is a visual technology to search and automate graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images (screenshots).”
What does this mean, well it is a really neat technology developed by MIT. Instead of programming using 100% code, imagine if you could say “find on the page (this item), focus (here), and click (here)” all using screenshot clips instead of coding the name of each entity.
I haven’t had time to download it and try it yet, although I definitely would make the time if it could help the project. It seems like it would be something that could help one understand the concept of what we are doing.
Picture computing is really a neat concept that is exciting as well as worrisome. Saw this site a while ago and was amazed. However after thinking about it a while I realized that this is kind what I’m going to school for. If this catches on after awhile, people won’t be paying others to do something that everyone can do.
