Hounder

Ok, I am a fourth year New Media Major at the University of Maine and I am trying to do a project for my senior capstone. The idea is that you have a screen saver that people download that uses their iSight (or webcame in general) to take video and stills while the saver is active. The screen saver will then show different clips of the day while its running.

The neat part is that it has another feature. It would also detect motion, and when motion is detected it would only do what is listed above. When their is no motion, it would upload the footage it took throughout the day to another users screen saver (P2P). At the same time, it would be showing footage from another random user of the saver.

The basic principle is a P2P video exchange, but the users don't realize that it is going on. The point is that users install all sorts of programs and never even know their power. Also, they don't realize the power of their computers either. I want people to eventually find out what it does, and then it will just become a neat screen saver for users who want it to perform those functions.

What I ask of you...is criticism, code help, suggestions, comments, anything. If you are a programmer and want to get a huge boost of your name on our campus (12,000 students), then maybe you would want to work with me on it.
If you have some helpful hints of places I could find help...that'd work too. Anything is good.

Thanks a lot guys, and I hope to become a more avid poster in this forum (my knowledge is restricted to HTML and PHP though). Alright, later.
