Re: What to do with those CMU's?

The CMUCam is extremely versatile, except for its relatively small resolution. Right on the board is a video out that will output in NTSC black and white. So you could rig up a 'security cam' for your pit area.

Write a simple program to poll the CMUCam for an image every thirty seconds or so and combine it with some web-foo and you can create a web cam.

Build an array of CMUCams and write some crazy image-stitching algorithms to create a moderate-resolution digital camera!

Track the vision te- oh wait, nevermind.

The easiest way to get 3d revolution images is with a large open room (gymnasiums work well) and a wheelie chair. Secure video camera to box (milk crates work well) and secure box moderately well to chair. Push chair around subject in large circle twice. Download video. Speed up like 10x.
