Interesting idea...
March 25, 2005 @ 02:59 AMHere’s an idea I’m throwing around… Sony Ericsson is releasing a little roving camera with bluetooth control shortly (pictured below). The idea is to play with it from your phone. It’s really just a toy for uber-geeks.
But I can’t imagine it would be terribly hard to control it from a Java application. Java has bluetooth APIs and while I’ve never used them, I’m a smart guy and I think I could figure it out. So here’s the fun idea. I could set that guy in my condo somewhere and relay commands/video between it and a web page, allowing me (or anyone I want) to drive the little guy around my condo and take pictures from anywhere.
Interesting thought, eh? The thing even has little HEADLIGHTS, so it’s useable at night. Anyway, something to consider.
