Testing #BeamEyeTracker (native #Linux build). Mixed results so far, as expected from a BETA.

Games I could successful use it are #ProjectWingman, #FlyDangerous and #FlightOfNova.

👀 This is rather big for #LinuxGaming / #GamingOnLinux because there is to this day no "user friendly" app that does _eye_ tracking using your average #V4L2 _webcam_ and just works™ with #Proton games 😎

Yes I know about #OpenTrack - I wrote guides on that 👴

Have a sneak peek video of me testing this out. No audio.

🎙️ Next talk at #EmbeddedRecipes2026!

Laurent Pinchart takes the stage with a panoramic talk: "Linux and cameras: past, present and future".

And we're off! Linux Media Summit kicks off Embedded Week in Nice!

#EmbeddedLinux #V4L2 #OpenSource

🚀 Embedded Week starts tomorrow! Day 1 kicks off with Linux Media Summit, diving deep into the future of media frameworks and V4L2 development.

Throughout the week: workshops, hackfests, and face-to-face collaboration across the embedded Linux ecosystem. Stop by our table at Embedded Recipes to see Tyr, ML video analytics, and the Flipper One prototype in action!

Massenhaft USB Geräte via #Proxmox an einen Gast durchzureichen funktioniert auch eher so nicht...

Ach mensch...
Muss ich das Ding nochmal neu installiern.

Undi ch fürchte es wird eher Windows als Linux. Die Webcams wollen alle keine 30FPS unter #V4L2

Does anyone knows good way to find #gig opportunity for software dev? I'd like to avoid pitfalls of well known platforms. I can do:
- #Rust CLI/Dev tools, APIs
- #C code (#FreeRTOS, #Zephyr, #Linux including some #drivers or #v4l2)
- #Cpp C++ code
- #Bash or #Python scripts, tools
- #CI workflows (GitHub, GitLab)
- #Yocto layers
- #Debian packaging + #DKMS

Anyone has experience in getting hands on small projects?

Edit: I can #teach / #training Rust or C++.

Thrilled to share, that my #FOSDEM talk in the Embedded, Mobile and Automotive devroom has been accepted 🥳

Join me on Sunday, February 1st at 12:40 in UD2.120 (Chavanne) to get a quick introduction to the latest efforts on improving flash and strobe control in the #v4l2 API of the #Linux #kernel.

Ich hatte zwar schon ein paar Webcam-Tools in den Fingern, richtig systematisch habe ich aber erst jetzt für @ct_Magazin auf die Webcam-Konfiguration unter #Linux geschaut. Und war positiv überrascht! Wer braucht schon Herstellersoftware mit überflüssigen Spielereien..
