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)

Chalkboard slide using openEyA-webcam with a low-cost, autofocus 2 Mpx webcam! (click to zoom) placed at more than 3 meters distant.

Note: Starting from version 5.0.0,  openEyA does not longer work using a remotely controlled digital camera or a screen capture tool such as vga2usb.  To record you only need now is any Linux compatible webcam! (to obtain similar results).

(open)EyA examples:

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.
