I just bought Periscope, a very innovative software for your iSight. It is by Freeverse, a company I’m starting to like a lot. They make PulpMotion and Comic Life. It allows you to trigger captures of whatever is in front of your computer’s camera with different options for the number of photos taken and the trigger mechanisms. As you see in the picture I have included, you can set zones for motion detection. You can set microphone levels to start snapping pictures. Imagine you leave the room and ask Periscope to detect any noise, then imagine that the pictures taken by iSight are automatically sent to you well, you have yourself a surveillance system. You can also set a timer to trigger the captures. You can even use Apple’s remote. I just wish that in upcoming versions, they actually captured video and that you could set the desired quality. The software makes it easy to share your photos to .Mac, Flickr, Email, FTP, iPhoto or a local folder. You can assemble a series of pictures into a movie quite easily. So who’s Big Brother now?
