I may have something by the end of the week. Ben, my semester just ended, and adding an improved version of it to the next version of Colors! is near the top of my to do list.

I like using it to show friends what you can do with an XO. Will you be adding this to the current version of Colors!? (11?) This is a very cool hack.

Its done in unoptimized Smalltalk so resolution and speed is not so great but I plan to make tracking colored objects a general input for Etoys so kids can make simple games with it. Here is a Etoys project with camera tracking: http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/camTrack.pr Karl I made a little project for Etoys that track colors with the video camera.

There were/are just absurd issues between Apache, Browse, and Sugar regarding mime-types. It may or may not be fixed now. The .xo itself was fine.

I've downloaded your version of the activity, but instead of clicking on "OK" in Browse, I click on "Open". This opens the file in EToys. From there, I extract all files to /home/olpc/Activities A reboot shows the Colors icon in the list, and the activity works from there on. Referencing the toolbar in the screenshot above, the second "zoomout" icon is the one that starts the Video painting mode. Kudos on making this activity. Its very cool.

The original version from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Colors! works fine. It downloads and installs with an icon. Your version downloads, but when I look for an icon, there's nothing. I also don't see anything in /home/olpc/Activities so it looks like something is falling apart during installation. Any suggestions?

I think it's just a quirk of v4l2src, and not necessarily a bug. @Sameer Verma: Yea, the Wii VR stuff is really amazing. The guy who did that actually goes to my university. Thanks all!

This is neat. I'm going to have to try this very soon. This reminds me of another hack that someone did a few months ago with a Wiimote and reflective tape on his fingers. Here's the post: http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/11/work-your-wiimote-with-your-fingertips/ Wow! This is neat. I’m going to have to try this very soon.

"Gstreamer itself lied and said yuv 565 or rgb 565 depending on where you looked." - is there a filed bug for that? Nice work!
