Eyetoy + Linux = Zaurus As Portable Dv?
« on: August 06, 2005, 11:17:46 pm »
The EyeToy captures great video at 640x480.  According to this link there are Linux drivers for the EyeToy.

There's also some discussion at this page that references something called ARToolKit (Sourceforge project page) 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

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.
