openEyA-webcam: automated recording system
openEyA allows to archive (in Flash format) and share (via web, zip) traditional scientific lectures and talks carried out using, for example, chalkboards in classrooms and/or using modern presentations (PPT, PDF, animations, etc). All of this is done using a low-cost Netbook and with just one click! … read more
Download openEyA v5.2.1 for Linux Ubuntu 32 and 64 Bits – free (Dec 2011)

(open)EyA examples:

Lecture using a Traditional Chalkboard only
Lecture using a Blackboard and PPT presentation
Lecture using PPT presentation only 
Lectures using Transparences: example 1
example 2 
Lecture in Aula Magna using animations
Lecture in big room with two large screens and Blackboard
using openEyA-lite with support for Screen Capture: see example
Many other examples of automated academic (open)EyA recordings are available at the websites of the ICTP Diploma Course on-line: www.ictp.tv and at the ICTP Science Dissemination Unit: sdu.ictp.it
A key issue to carry out massive digital lectures recordings (besides to store, manage and share them), is to automate as much as possible the production and post-production processes to pull down all the costs. openEyA satisfies all these requirements in a way that has yet no similar.
