Video on iPAQ

 

Overview

We have created the capability to perform full video-conferencing on the iPAQ by adding support for Winnov Videum PCMCIA camera to the vic video conferencing tool modified to support video for linux 2 drivers.

The iPAQ is running Linux with kernel version 2.4.18-rmk3 and equipped with the dual PCMCIA sleeve (one for wireless Ethernet, and one for camera interface) for live video transmission.

Here are some pictures of the PCMCIA camera on iPAQ. The iPAQ is running vic conferencing tool transmitting video stream via wireless Ethernet.
