Thanks for the ideas. That looks interesting but I'm afraid I'll need
better resolution than a webcam. Movies are not a necessity, but good
quality still images are. I'm under the impression that webcams aren't
built to deliver the kind of still image quality a 3MP digital camera
will give. If it would, a webcam based solution would be great.
Not sure you'll ever get a webcam based solution at that resolution . .
. most CCD based DV cams are only up to 1Mpix . . . no need for 3Mpix
for moving video . . . most webcams are a lot less than that . . .
Not sure that what you're after (specifically resolution) is even
available at all . . . I have a Nikon D70 digital SLR, 6Mpix res but
even it's remote control capability is only - "take a picture and send
me the data" - no zoom control, no metering control, etc . . . and
that's only availabe on 'doze AFAIK . . .
Intersting subject tho . . . my current spare time project is a motion
tracking video system on linux . . . v4l, motion analysis stuff and some
external DIY hardware . . . a camera that follows you around the room .
. . getting there . . . slowly ;-)
