PlayBook Devs..Is this possible?
I was thinking about the great video camera the PB has and had a thought about a camera application.
I know this is way out there, but can any developers tell me if this is possible or not.
The basic idea is that the PB has an accelerometer and a gyro and I have seen a level apply which cancelled the level of a surface. Is it possible to make a video camera app which can basically behave as an image stabiliser? What I would want it to do is that once I set a zero level then the PlayBook keeps the image centred that way no matter at what angle the PB is tilted. Obviously the tilting only in one plane,much like driving in NFS.
This (absurd?) thought came to me as I'm planning a trip into the upper reaches of the himalayas and thought how cool it would be if I could mount the PB on the dash and have the PB record the dangerous road there and the gorgeous views while driving there. But since there is hardly a motorable road there, the car would be driven at low speeds and would be a lot of body roll. That's when this struck me if the PB could compensate for the roll of the car.
I understand it might not be possible to react at high speeds but it can respond at slow speeds judging by the way it responds to the NFS game?
Is this possible at all? And if some devs would take up the challenge? I'm sure this app would sell like crazy even at the $50 mark. If someone does do this, how about keeping 10% of the proceeds for me for the idea ;).
