Interactive presentation software

RMando is an interactive presentation software based on the experience gained from the development of KMando.  The system is implemented in Ruby and the source code (a bit more than 1000 lines and a few GUI description files and icons) is included in the HornetsEye package.

The software requires an IIDC/DCAM compatible firewire camera such as the Unibrain Fire-i.  The firewire support is only available under GNU+Linux at the moment.  Therefore this software currently only runs under GNU+Linux.  The camera is calibrated using Gray code sequences.  The application allows you to load a set of images and display them as slides.  After displaying a slide in fullscreen mode, a reference images is taken.  User interaction is detected by computing difference pictures and counting the number occluded pixel in virtual sensor stripes located at the left and the right of the screen.  Note that currently you need to manually change the left and right offsets in the script to adapt the display to your projection screen.
