I've hit a point in my life where I feel like undertaking a project that is beneficial for all of humanity. No one else in the world is either interested in creating humanlike intelligence, hasn't gone about it in the right way. I feel like I have a straightforward design plan, and no developers to see it through but myself. There's no excuses why I shouldn't manually code it from start to finish, so I am going to start to. If an investor trips over my work, possibly the process can become accelerated. If a government agency finds my work beneficial, perhaps there is a partnership to be formed there. If a corporation begins development of AI, possibly I could be a part of it. There's no negative factors other than my time investment into this project.
My understanding is that computer vision is in its infancy, and vision detection will have to be developed manually. Because of this, and the fact that I need to secure funding, I will take an intermediate step to making AI. I will first make an arcade game to secure a chunk of funding. My theory is that the code that I need to develop for vision detection will work to create a video game that will allow a user to input data via their body. By giving full body data, indepth games involving physical exertion can be created... The most obvious would be a martial arts fighting game. I have no doubt the game will be wildly successful... The tricky part will be handling liability of injuries. It will be profitable, and the vision detection will be a much needed technology for the AI.
Subgoal #1: Create arcade game based on human movements.
A) I will need to clear a room in my house, and set it up.
B) I will need to take photographs with a digital camera in varying poses.
C) I will need to compile and understand a 3d graphical world program.
D) I will need to take the above photographs, and interpret the data into the computer.
E) Once the stills can be processed, I will need to develop a live digital capture program that will do the same thing with 5 live cameras.
F) Once the digital capture program works, the technology is complete, and has multi million dollar applications.
G) Get on with the AI programming.

Here's the room before cleaning:
And then after cleaning :)
I now have a bit of room to set up some cameras.
