If you have problems understanding tech speak when you have problems with your TV or computer then maybe being able to actually seem what was going on made be of value.
Apparently this is the reason a guy named Dan O’Sullivan came up with the idea of streaming live video much like the Qik app does and thus programmed Android to do the biz, apparently it was a single project for ITP’s 4in4.
He came up with code which basically munches together the camera preview from the Android api, and then set about creating a “hat” so you can wear it while running around your house fixing those tech problems, well at least for his mother…apparently.
