ECE497 Beagle VNS



Team members: Tom Atnip, Kevin Geisler,Ruffin White

Executive Summary


We wanted a way for students to be able to leave audio (and possibly video) messages for professors when they are out of their office. Using a BeagleBoard Bone, we plan to connect a wireless USB device and a PlayStation Eye to achieve this. Students will be able to walk up to the device and press a button to record their message which will then be available for the professor.
