Planning page for the IRCam project, for a hackable, dual-webcam, Raspberry Pi-based point-and-shoot camera. a href  https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreywarren/8097979456/  title  Public Lab IRCAM prototype by jeferonix, on Flickr > img src  https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8471/8097979456_a22c77cd8c.jpg  width  500  height  375  alt  Public Lab IRCAM prototype > /a> ###Quick links * GitHub page: https://github.com/jywarren/irkit  no code yet,  but issues  https://github.com/jywarren/irkit/issues/   *  timed camera triggering  https://github.com/jywarren/irkit/issues/1  * Parts list:  IRCam materials  /wiki/ircam-materials  *  Prototype photos & info  /notes/warren/10-17-2012/prototype-raspberry-pi-based-dual-ir-cam  *  Early sketches  /notes/warren/9-23-2012/leaffest-brainstorm-raspberry-pi-based-dual-webcam-kit-0  *  Script from old Spectrometer Kickstarter  /notes/warren/8-1-2012/spectrometer-kickstarter-script  for reference The idea is that for relatively low cost  $60  we could make a  hacker s camera  with both infrared and regular webcams built around a raspberry pi, which when you take a picture, auto-composites the two images into NDVI and NRG. So you re left with an SD card with precomposited images, as if it were a regular digital camera.  For basic use, it s dead simple - its a point and shoot camera that takes infrared composites. Later, we could add all sorts of other functionality: * auto-timelapse/intervalometer - 10 second auto-triggering * put it in a waterproof box for a DIY GoPro add a mini USB wifi dongle and watch the video feed live from your phone/laptop * add corner eyebolts for an easy Picavet suspension * make an easy scripting system - put any python script in the /scripts/ folder, or even make a web-based editor on the WiFi network a href  https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreywarren/8412812124/  title  IRCam draft box by jeferonix, on Flickr > img src  https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8323/8412812124_d0472718ed.jpg  width  500  height  375  alt  IRCam draft box > /a> ###Case design Case will probably be approx 3 x5 x2 . There could be several cases: * a PRINTed and die-cut cardboard case for the early-shipping DIY kit * an injection-molded or 3d-PRINTable plastic case for the more finished camera * a shockproof and waterproof case comparable to a GoPro * a splash resistant and buoyant case All 3 might have built-in eye-bolts for hanging from a camera and/or building a Picavet suspension. ###To-do/Questions * What is the status of the Pi Camera?
