Title: Eyetoy + Linux = Zaurus As Portable Dv?
Post by: Gondola on August 06, 2005, 11:17:46 pm

The EyeToy captures great video at 640x480.  According to this link (http://www.hexkey.co.uk/lee/log/2005/05/08/) there are Linux drivers for the EyeToy.

There's also some discussion at this page (http://www.hitlabnz.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-2.html) that references something called ARToolKit (Sourceforge project page) (http://sourceforge.net/projects/artoolkit) which can use the EyeToy.

If someone could compile up the necessary drivers/software to use the EyeToy via USB on the 6k, that would be pretty slick.  The Zaurus + the EyeToy wouldn't be the smallest or best portable digital video camera available, but it's free if you've got the parts... Like I do

i actually have a very cheap mustek camera


http://www.mustek.com/html/prod_camra/dv4500.html (http://www.mustek.com/html/prod_camra/dv4500.html)

i can record video and play it back from the same sd ai yank out of my zaurus.

this device is around 130 dollars without an sd card.

when i play it back in the default media player, the video comes out perfect without sound though but image is perfect.
