Mimicker Alarm is a morning alarm clock app for Android that helps you wake up and stay up by playing a simple game, called a "Mimic". To dismiss your alarm, you must mimic the action given, lest your alarm ring again. Each game is powered by Microsoft Project Oxford, a set of machine learning APIs aimed at helping developers understand and act on the data around them.

Microsoft will receive the images you upload and may use them to improve Face API and related services. By submitting an image, you confirm you have consent from everyone in it. This is outlined in the in-app Terms of Use.
You can create new mimics really easily! Inherit from the MimicWithCameraFragment class and implement the verify function that takes in a Bitmap. You can readily use the Emotion API and Vision API!
For more Project Oxford APIs just include their maven packages.
For the new Mimic to show up, include it in pref_mimics so users can enable/disable it. Finally add the class into the MimicFactory class.
