Sample Application

SFEyeModule2 is a Satellite Forms extension that enables you to integrate the IDEO EyeModule2 digital camera Springboard module for Handspring Visors into your SatForms applications. SFEyeModule2 provides methods for you to:

• retrieve the database of EyeModule2 images already on the Visor (including image attributes such as image name, date/time taken, image size, and note)
• rename or delete images from the database
• create/modify image notes
• display image thumbnails (Palmsize 160x120) from the database in color or greyscale (dependent on the Visor model)
• display live viewfinder frames from the camera
• take photos and save them to the EyeModule2 image database as thumbnail (Palmsize) and optionally as VGA JPEG files (Fullsize 640x480x24 bit)
• beam photos to another Visor (the receiving Visor needs to have the EyeModule2 software installed, which is automatically installed the first time you snap the EyeModule2 into the Springboard slot)
• it also supports embedding either the thumbnail or fullsize image into an SF41 binary field, as long as the image is small enough to fit into the 64K record size limit (you can control the amount of JPEG compression for the VGA image, making it possible to store the full 640x480x24 bit image in a binary field, although the SF runtime engine is not able to display the JPEG image)
• Important: SFEyeModule2 is compatible with SatForms 3.1 and higher (binary field support requires SF41 or higher), requires PalmOS 3.5 Visors (Visor Edge, Visor Platinum, Visor Prism, Visor Pro, or Visor Neo), and will NOT work with PalmOS 3.1 Visors (Visor and Visor Deluxe) or the original EyeModule
