Hey guys, I'm new to xda but excited to get involved! I'm a student researcher at Duke University working in the mobile computing space. The current research I'm doing is kind of stuck right now because I need to somehow access the focus of the camera, which is unavailable from the java sdk. Even just getting the camera's focus amount after an autofocus would be a big help.
Does anyone know any libraries, kernels, source code, or commands that might be useful? With your help, this research could potentially lead to a product similar to the Playstation Move or Xbox Kinect on the modern smartphone.
Thanks in advance!

hello developers!
I'm a graphic designer with absolutely no skills in programing, but I dream of a software so I wonder if someone here would bee crazy enough to develop it?? here is a pic explaining the concept.
basicly, it's a time line showing sun rise and set and moon rise set and phases.
thanks all!
Hello,
I am currently looking for a programmer who is fairly skilled in game development and android system to collaborate with. The idea is to create a small yet expandable game through updates. Maybe even a interactive wall paper with gameplay mechanics.
I myself am an amateur 2D artist. I had been working on a project, creating sprite sheets for a xbox 360 project. However I feel that it would possibly do much better in the android market. By no means do I consider myself a professional, but I would dedicate a large amount of time, working daily to tweak and create sprite sheets to make them look as fluid as possible. I would hope the programmer also has the right amount of dedication and time to invest in this type of project.

Thanks again, and I hope to hear from somebody soon.
Hey all the good people at XDA. I have an idea and the potential parts to make this work. Think of it like a Google Glass ( another glass concept ) but for the combat Infantrymen. We wear eye protection already and put some crazy stuff on our helmets. We get shot at and we shoot back.
This is where I and trying to help.
The concept:
Being able to know and many rounds you have fired.
able to tell distance, direction and elevation the shots originating from.
Able to tell what round was fired.
The hardware:
Will be tested on Oakley M frames. I am drafting up at the moment.
Small screen on either eye but supposed to be your non firing eye.
there will be small mics around the helmet. This is what will give direction.
There will be a small shock sensor and mic to give an accurate round count.
What I want to try to use:
I have an electronic viewfinder screen from an old digital camera. that's what I will look up to. I have the orignal PCB that I know has the TI DPS. I think it has whatever display chip on the board as well. Basically I tore a kodak easyshare z710. I don't know what firmware type is it. Maybe Linux but I don't know.
Can I get some help on this. Is a little near and dear lol.

I don't actually understand what kind of help you need. Do you need hardware or software help? And if you plan on an endeavor such as this how do you plan to obtain funding?
Please give a thanks if you think this post helped you!

can you elaborate it a bit more,seriously I could not make out where you need help
I'm sorry guys, I think my sleep meds started kicking in and I just zone out.
Basically I want to make a small projector with the hardware provided to project an image onto the lens of my Oakley eye pro. The mobo in the camera has some sort of OS. I don't know what it is (I would think Unix of some sort).
There is more to it, but the hardest things is getting the projector work right and have control from a smartphone.

So what do you need from us? I'm confused...
Please give a thanks if you think this post helped you!

It sounds like the basic concept is there. I'm guessing you are looking for technical help to make this a practical reality.
So far I see that you have most of the sensors planned out:
-shock sensor
-mics
And the output:
-LCD from the camera
But it seems to me you need a microcontroller somewhere in there. You could use an Atmega (the kind Arduino boards use) or Microchip (probably 18f series) or AVR. I'm sure there are others. Depending on your level experience you may decide to go with Arduino (which are a little more expensive (usually $15+) then the others but includes it's own programmer (assuming you get one that has the USB on the board) and are easy to program (Arduino IDE has lots of code examples)) or you can go for a more low level one like a Microchip 18f4550 ($5) for example and program in C (I think this costs) or assembly (free) but you'll need to understand registers and some of the lower level aspects to microcontrollers (however there are free very in depth datasheets that will give you all the information (you'll just need a few months to digest it).
Those are just some ideas, this projects sounds quite awesome though. It may take you a 6 month to year to do though.
Hello!
I'm working on a very ambitious project and I thought i'd reach out to see if anyone here at xda would have some comments.
I detailed the basics in this reddit post:
http://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/2pqh3f/an_idea_to_end_the_proprietary_living_room/
TL/DR: I want to make a new embedded dev board (like a raspberry pi) but with more power, and HDMI Inputs, and HDCP Compliance. This dev board would be the heart (brain) of new open source AV Receivers.
I want to target linux, as well as Android with this. I think an Android powered AV Receiver would be AMAZING!
Currently i'm leaning towards an atom processor, as the price is right, and the performance seems to be very good. x86 development is very mature, however that could prove a hindrance, as arm is more optimized. However, i'm sure others have insight into the ideal configuration. I haven't used the nexus player (only x86 device i know of), so i'm interested in hearing peoples experiences.
I welcome all questions and comments. I'm looking for someone interested in helping with the design of the board.

like to know how can i use depth camera for computer software?
If you just need the depth camera, I'd look into a Kinect or any other standalone depth camera. The depth in the ZenFone is not the best that there's ever been.
If you need the rest of Tango or to use the phone, you'll have to write your own Android app to transmit the information over USB or Wifi to your computer. I don't think there will be any existing apps for this because Tango uses new APIs on Android.
it going to be costly. why waste money when u have a smartphone with same features it will a really helpful for lot of user if some one developed a app for transmit data to computer
There is limited developer community for the ZenFone AR, especially now that support is ending soon. You can get an original Kinect for $30 on Amazon that has a huge developer community and lots of support and documentation.
