WAP emulator for EyeSpyFX

Phone StreamFX is the best way to view live stream EyeSpyFX cams but EyeSpyFX cams are also available via WAP showing single images that can be manually refreshed.

There is a handy emulator on the dot mobi site. Here is a link:

On the same page Dot mobi point out the following:

Researchers at IDC say that 1.3 billion people will connect to the Internet via mobile phones by 2008. To see your site the same way that millions of mobile phone users do, use the .mobi mobile Emulator, which “emulates” a real mobile phone Internet browser.

Some fun webcams

After setting up our Lamp Cam it occured to us that there must be other webcams out there that offer the same sort of interactive experience.

So after searching the internet heres a few of the websites we came across.

1. Tele Toyland
This site focuses on web connected robots
and has a number of interactive cams.
Only the TeleSkeleton Cam would work for us,
so I’d recommend playing with it.

TeleSkeleton & Web Truck

2. Web Truck
This webcam has a nice control page that lets you see the truck from above and from the side.
You can drive the truck around as well as scoop up, and dump objects.

3. Drive Me Insane
Drive Me Insane is very similar to our Lamp Cam.
The owner has a number of lamps and lights set up around a room,
which you can switch on and off from the page.
I think the idea is that you can drive the owner insane,
but I have yet to see him/her in the room.

Drive Me Insane & Control Our Junk

4. Control Our Junk
Control Our Junk has a number of internet controlled toys
that you can play with from the control page.
It takes a few minutes to work out all the controls,
and the interface could be better.
But once you get the hang of it, its quite fun.

Enjoy the cameras, and stay tuned for more.

RemoteControlEye Video Tutorial

It will briefly guide you through setup. Then take a look at the various RemoteControlEye features and functions. Ending with a run through of using RemoteControlEye with messenger.

Want to stare out the English Rugby team?

Got a webcam, and 5 minutes to spare?
Then why not have a staring contest against a member of England’s Rugby team.

To play go to the O2 blueroom site, and load up the game.

O2 Stare Out

Then pick an opponent.
(Mike Tindall lasts 5 minutes, so you may want to start with one of the others)

Then line up your eyes with your webcam ……

Eye Contact

…….and try to last more than the pathetic 36 seconds that I did.

I Blinked

Or for those of you who like to fool around, try grabbing a photograph, picture, or another object with eye like shapes, and try to fool O2’s state-of-the-art Stare Out system.

I won!!!

For anyone whose wondering, it felt good to defeat a world champion.
