Eye Guide

Registered by David Turner

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Onion Skinning" for updated plans.

There should be some sort of guide for where the user's eyes should be. This would preferably be customizable in terms of their position and separation, but I think it would enhance the effect of the video.

Maybe something like this would work.

------------------------------

Great idea but I personally have no idea how to implement this - we're using GStreamer hooked into a gtk.DrawingArea instead of SDL.
Perhaps a drawing area can be drawn on on top of the video feed?

Ya thats what I was thinking, just have a canvas drawn over top of the area where the video is. I would have no idea how to do this though.

I will look into it after I work out how to add music to the video.

There's some nice docs here:

I think using a transparent image is a better idea: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/photostory/+spec/transparent-image
