Wifi Camera takes "pictures" of spaces illuminated by wifi
- jonah 17y agoAwesome! For several years I've wanted to build this camera.
- motter 17y ago"Netbook collects data and streams it over Wifi" -- Wouldn't this, hm, affect the readings somewhat?
- borism 17y agodo you affect picture taken by camera by looking trough viewfinder?
- mgunes 17y agoIf it's an SLR, you do, in that you block the stray light that can go in through the viewfinder, which is perhaps the counterpart of the wifi signal emitted by the netbook in your analogy. Most photo enthusiasts and professionals will block their SLR viewfinders when doing long exposures during which they aren't looking through the viewfinder, and pretty much every SLR comes with an eyepiece cover.
- borism 17y agotrue. great point!
- motter 17y agoNo, and that's because my eye doesn't radiate light.
- perplexes 17y agoI was wondering that myself. It seems like it would - the netbook and viewing computer are broadcasting unidirectionally, so the cantenna array would pick up their reflections.
- carbocation 17y agoThe video at the bottom of the page was pretty informative: http://vimeo.com/908888 http://vimeo.com/908888 In it, they showed and discussed WiFi interference patterns, which looked like standing waves and remained stable for months. Cool!
- gxs 17y agoThis is just plain, old fashioned cool.
- glhaynes 17y agoBoring "pictures".
