 |

I was inspired when I found this

Describes how to hack a mouse to use as a scanner
Was wondering if anyone has considered hacking a mouse or a webcam into a hand held pen that uses imagesearch to control the cursor on-screen? So you could have a sort of live stylus! You Could have the mouse buttons on either side of the pen so can do clicks.
Could just get a pen-like tube and mount the webcam at the back end of it to narrow the webcams view.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Edit - This is a phucking edit

Ignore the above post - I've found an app much better suited for this type of thing 'Roborealm'.

| Don't feed the Trolls (and don't insinuate on who they might be), so, no bump, but bury. |

Since this is the first forum I've ever contributed to I tried to suck it up and learned how to phucking edit.
See if you can find it...
