Re: webcam mouse movement = mouseTrap

Hey guys!!

Thanks all for your Opinions and motivations, I'm really glad you all
like the project.

@Steve:  where does pyatspi get used, just for selecting useful windows
to auto-focus?

Well, pyatspi is used for several things:

1) Mouse movement listener
2) Keybindings listener
3) In the widgetsTrap feature is used to get all the selectable and
focusable widgets.
4) Execute the movements of the mouse

It would be really nice to create mouseTrap as a multi-platform
application so I/We could think in a way to reduce the use of pyatspi
which is the only library that isn't multi-platform in the mouseTrap
API. I don't know IA2 so I'll take a look at it immediately. :)

I've no problems to share the code with you so I'll create an svn under
my domain and I'll create a private project for mouseTrap. I'll send you
the username and password that will allow you to download the code. The
user and password is because I don't want to make it completely public
until a first version can be released :P (Nothing to worry about, I just
want to do a great job :P )

I'll added a file in de source called TESTS with a list of things that I
would like you to test ( If you can, it is not obligatory :P ) to know
how mouseTrap works in other computers and architectures.

Right now, My first goal is to reduce the CPU Usage and improve de
facedetection (reducing time and producing best results ) just after
this, I'll get to work in the mouse click execution ( Ideas are
welcomed, I'm thinking to use the eyebrows up/down movement or the eyes
blink ). I'll be making a lot of changes in the code this days. I'll
keep you all in touch.

@Simon: How can I add the project to oatsoft? I logged in but I don't
know where I shoud add it.


Well, I think this is it for now, I hope we can share many ideas and
knowledge.

Again thanks to all.

P.S:  Right now I don't remember if i sent this link [0] to the list. So
I send it again. Feel free to give your opinions too.

P.S 2: I'll send the svn info tomorrow, today I had to travel and my
bateries ran out of charge :P

P.S 3 and hopping it to be the last P.S :) : I would like to work a
little bit in the arts of mouseTrap, I completely sucks creating images
with gimp or inkscape so as I said before, and help is welcomed.

Have a nice day

Bests
