Here is an http pointer which describes pfinder, person finder, currenty the system runs on SGI boxes. http://www-white.media.mit.edu/vismod/ My main interest is mostly for audio/video conferencing so I don't have to stand up in attention in front of my camera. Also it would be cool to control a ccd camera with a robotic arm with gestures 8) To accomplish the above further research will have to be done in the area of non-stationary cameras because pfinders works in real-time however with a stationary camera. As for company affinity for doing FreeBSD related reasearch/work , this is it Sandy, a world-wide volunteer cooperative effort.
