One project I’ve been working on with fellow members of the Wearable Computer Lab (WCL)<\/a> has been a project we’ve called ‘Snappy’. <\/em>Snappy is simply an old Canon IXUS camera that is connected to an old Dell Laptop. It was setup to monitor the construction of a new building here at the University of South Australia<\/a>. The building will be used for a number of things but in particular it will host the Visualisation Lab used by the WCL.<\/p>\n

Snappy was something setup so the lab could see how construction was going and also so we could have some time lapse photography about the building being built.<\/p>\n

Ironically, it appears that Snappy has grown. The VC of the Uni checks it, the architechs in Canberra are using it to monitor progress and a lot of the people involved are using it!<\/p>\n

You see snappy consist of the camera and a web frontend to the photos snappy has taken. The frontend is a bunch of PHP scripts created by myself (Benjamin Close), Aaron Stafford, Ross Smith and Micheal Marner. Each one of us has worked on a part of either the scripts, the hardware or getting things working. Robert Speedie has been a big help in making this work as well. He has the contacts and funding to help it happen.<\/p>\n
