Is your webcam running? (better go catch it!)

Hi everyone! Sorry we haven't been updating much lately. Since the last post, we've managed to break a webcam, break a computer, and get our infrared camera working! I've posted spooky picture of our groupmate Peter and the ghost in my attic, Mr. Brighteyes (actually, it's a Wii sensor bar). Enjoy!

IR WEBCAM -- Setup

We found a webcam that we were able to remove the IR filter and replace it with a small layer of developed film. We have yet to test it, so hopefully this will work. Pictures will be uploaded later.

Part(s):
Logicam QuickCam Express
developed film

Tool(s):
scissors
screwdriver set

Webcam FAIL!

Attempt #2 to modify our webcam was a failure. This time the camera we were trying to fix didn't have a separate IR filter that we could take out. So, we're going to shop around a little more to see if we can find one that will work.

On the plus side, we are all going to have webcams to play with.
