Money Talks

Due to some disbelief on the NUI Group forums about how my Logitech QuickCam™ Ultra Vision SE was stacking up to the Firefly/Dragonfly from Point Grey Research, I decided to make a little video showing the speed of the camera. Now, the lag of the trails that follow your fingers is the computer. If you move too fast and the camera loses your trails, then that's the camera.

I use the coins to show that I've reached a zero-force blob detection with the camera in normal room lighting down to the diameter of a dime. Unfortunately, my front surface mirror broke in a moment of sheer ecstasy and I haven't replaced it yet, so my projected screen area is cut in half. But that's trivial as the Logitech can fit the whole screen in it's view from less than 3 feet away and doesn't need to use the mirror.

I monkeyed around with the mouseDriver.exe thingy for a minute on the internet web browsing and such. Not much fun when you're itching to write code. So I'm off to go do that now.
