The "IR Lamp" Looks Like a LED Lamp a ultra blue lamp. and...IR Lamps are red and not blue

[MacBookHero]

Sir, if you would go ahead and wait until you enter the 8th grade before making a comment, you would know that the Infrared light emitted from any light source is invisible to the human eye- NOT red. Like I believe I said in the video, the only reason you can see ANY light is because the camera detects the light, and changes it into a different color in the spectrum that our eyes can see. This camera chooses to change all invisible light to bluish white.

Thank you for your time.

[AirRifle1980]

Sir, im in 8th grade...

[gumdealer328]

[mu0p]

LOL A MAC

[krispykarrot13]

Amen.

[snezegard]

Well, he wrote the program in C#, I believe, which solely runs on windows. He's asked for help from Linux and Mac devs on sourceforge. He doesn't have time to do this at the moment, so it would be great if someone could help translate it into maybe Java or something. Anyone can download the source for free (it's really simple... I'm not a programmer, but otherwise I would love to help.

[KelvinGreyheart]

I have not tried it myself, but you should be able to get his programs to run under wine.

(Yes there is a mac version of wine. Unfortunately, the current implementation of X11 (not an OS, its a window manager) in Mac OSX is buggy and so many programs that require 3D support are unable to run.)

[ClaymoreStudios]

why is your infrared light LED?

[phazonxl]

It is an IR light. dummy!

[ClaymoreStudios]

harhar he called me a dummy :(

[rco20]

Ok for one why post a vid that dumb and two, buddy below my comment who uses sissors to cut wire?! Go back to cooking class, somthing u would be able to do. But he's got a point who spends $40 on wire & and cutters for somthing 5 mins of effort & trivial!

You look like ur in school GO STUDY instead of pissin around with Wii remotes!

[phazonxl]

Its true! you can strip wire with scissors! I do it all the time!

but if I was you, I probably would fail terribly at it!

[ritchieDonkers92]

pwnd :D

[sdfsdf666]

What exactly is the problem with using scissors to cut and strip wire?

[barcellano]

Why did you buy all that stuff lol. Just use sisers and some tape, no need for wire cutters and all that.

[MacBookHero]

im a perfectionist. lol

[TrimFlinders]

Is the pile of books in the background waiting to be cooked or did you defrost them in the microwave already?

[MacBookHero]

This is why Mac sucks. Eye catching GUI, gaming = poop, and not as much support as Windows.

[MacBookHero]

[zzzdude9]

[awesomnaut]

[Surochan]

Isn't bootcamp or someting similar not an alternative until there is a mac version?

[MacBookHero]

yea, i tried it, didnt work for some reason.

[CursedSpade]

I just read on his homepage he is programming a MAC version.

[neutron7]

don't worry apple is down at the patent office now patenting a way to make this only work with macs if you buy their special pen, you will be able to buy the program for only $199.99 and get the pen for FREE!

[MacBookHero]

yeah more like microsoft is. see? i can pull crap out of thin air too

[kintaman2]

Be a "hero" and write it yourself...ugh

[MacBookHero]

[agent555012]

HEHE you are stupid. You have only a pen and it very enjoying for you :D

[celderian]

What was on your roommate screen?

[CaptainAssholay]

If Mac's are so great shouldn't it have magically created it's own software to use your pen?

Some hero.

[MacBookHero]

lol wtf no one said macs are God... they're just good.

[krazykarl0]

Easy, you can find a pen to use anywhere, the wire and LED you can find in the trash. Get the LED from an old remote, and get the wire from some old phone cord you have laying around.

It's not like you really have to go out and but a 100 ft of wire and wire strippers or anything.

[CaptainAssholay]

Calm down Macgyver.

[MacBookHero]

yeah but radioshack's cheap like that.

[krazykarl0]

$40 for a PEN!

I could make that for about $0.10!

[paulaumdelorean]

do a tutorial video for the penn
