Hello, I posted this in x-code. Perhaps this is a better place.
Laptopograms are images made by pressing photosensitive paper onto a laptop screen and flashing an image in a manner not unlike contact printing or photograms. Here are some I made: http://laptopogram.tumblr.com/
On my laptop (I run Lucid Lynx) I wrote a small shell script to control my screen:
#!/bin/sh
sudo vbetool dpms on ; sleep 2.0; sudo vbetool dpms off
I would now like to use an iPhone or an iPod Touch as the screen. I’m thinking of downloading a slideshow app and sandwiching the real image between two black images - but this is suboptimal.
Could you guys help me out writing a small script that controls the iPod Touch screen? Something that lets me display images for a predetermined amount of time. I also wish to play movies and make prints with them.
Thoughts?
