with a digital camera, you could do cooler stuff than just a long exposure.
you could take, like, a continuous moving average of pictures. a video of continual long exposures
really there's probably a lot of cleverness you could do if you could keep a buffer of frames and continually push onto it
@elomatreb perhaps, but it would be really cool to be able to do this in real time and write videos of this to disk
@elomatreb yeah. i was thinking, like, if you had the hardware for it and could write whatever software you want for it
@elomatreb good question. that could be a way to get it... one could obtain a phone that's new enough to have a good camera but not so new that there isn't yet a jailbreak for it, and do some hackery there
@elomatreb @KitRedgrave there's some nonfree crap the manufacturers put in this have to RE to get the nice lady level access iirc
@elomatreb @KitRedgrave *low level dang it
@MightyPork @elomatreb or i think what one may be able to do is just get one of these sensors and wire it up, and maybe attach it to a raspberry pi
@MightyPork @elomatreb that seems like it's a road that would lead down into building your own open-source camera
@KitRedgrave @elomatreb you can maybe just use the regular Pi camera they sell for it, it won't be that different
@MightyPork @elomatreb ah i didn't know they just sold a camera addon for it already
@KitRedgrave @MightyPork @elomatreb afaik there are cameras that you can script with Lua. it was either Nikon or Canon, can't remember.
anyways, that's a pretty mature project afaik, although Lua might not be fast enough, but you could modify the C sources and do some interesting stuff.
but idk how fast the processor in these things is, but they are probably better at being a camera than a phone is.
@grainloom @KitRedgrave @elomatreb it's gonna have all this nice DSP / SIMD stuff probably.....
@elomatreb @MightyPork @KitRedgrave @grainloom are there teardowns of the hardware anywhere? I know it's pretty easy to dump firmware on some canon stuff, and that magic lantern and such exists but that's really it
