Use Cases
- time lapse. Watch plants grow for example. take series of pictures over a long time and then play them back as a video. (Ornotermes)
- find cmos sensor without hot mirror. Hot mirror reflects the infra-red spectrum. www.lifepixel.com work with replacing filters in digital cameras. (Ornotermes)
- de-brand the world in real-time (suggested by Allin Kahrl), http://boingboing.net/2010/10/08/digitally-masking-co.html
- synchronize two or more cameras to create 3D images
- real-time Ogg Theora encoding
- use different M12 lenses (which ones? infrared? telecentric?)
- support plug and play sensor add-on, e.g. motion or sound activation of photos
- low cost RF remote control using LoFi with Nanonote (or other computer)as master
- pair of cameras: one to capture images to SD card, second (aligned with first) to transmit live image to be viewed from a distance. Bird photography is one application.
