As you look through some of the commands, you may notice that the underlying Linux subsystems 
can be accessed through the command interface. This opens a world of possibilities for adding new 
features.

For instance, all the following things and more should be possible if you want to pursue them:

Voice synthesis

Music playback

Voice recognition and control

Retrieving data from the web

Interlinking OWENs using networking commands

Facial recognition
...and more!

Some of the above will require extra hardware like a bluetooth speaker or a webcam, but they are 
all possible.

The entire OWEN system is open source, so feel free to connect to OWEN via an SSH terminal to 
look around and play with things.

OWEN runs an open-source 

lighttpd

 webserver, and most of its functionality is provided by the 

Rebol3

 scripting language, which is also open source.

When you do something cool with your OWEN, send us a video or email at
