@jasondaywalker, in addition to the information above, I know that @jcasman is working on an article that profiles H3D and the work that @BrianKitchen10 is doing.
Brian successfully built a dual-fisheye plug-in that automatically moves the image over to another computer for processing using the USB cable. I believe the USB cable also powers the THETA.
As you may be working on your own solution right now, thought I would share with the clever and creative technique from Brian.
- user puts THETA into plug-in mode
- Plug-in runs as an infinite loop and constantly checks if there is a picture in the storage folder
- If no picture is present, then another picture is taken
- He uses ptpcam and libptp on a separate computer to move the picture over
- The control program (the one using ptpcam) deletes all the pictures in the THETA V storage area, causing Brian’s plug-in to take a new picture
- The control program then transfers the new picture over.
Cool! I hope that Brian is able to release this plug-in through the THETA Store. It’s a cool idea.
There is a long through on using the USB API here:
If you download the image to a mobile app. You can use the API here:
I have not tried this, but I believe you can boot the plug-in with this API
