One Pixel Webcam

Hello – the One Pixel Webcam is a project I’ve been working on for quite a while now and I’d now like to see what you think.

It’s an application that samples a single pixel from a webcam you select and creates a image for your desktop, so that your desktop can be the same colour as the sky outside.

The desktop images also show how this pixel has changed over time, for example this is how the skys in Boston changed at dusk last weekend:

I’m really interested in the natural cycles of different areas of these images. The sky changes minute-by-minute and keeps a daily cycle, the cycle of the leaves of a tree are follow the seasons on a yearly cycle.

Please let me know what you think – you can download it and give it a go from my page. I’ll be showing this at the Curious Christmas event this evening.

Cheers,
Dave
