svn access is http://www.oatsoft.org/svn/jambu/
e.g
svn checkout http://www.oatsoft.org/svn/jambu/trunk jambu
It's public readonly so I can add you when/if you want to commit.
Jambu is undergoing fairly high churn at the moment so you may want
work with me on merging later. Or we could create you a branch.
bringing in Simons comments on how it might work. I was imagining a
small JAMBU widget. This has 'target' cells too look at generates the
events to control applications. The current Firefox set is a
reasonable starting point. Threshold detection doesn't need
interaction with Jambu visuals and ties in with controlling apps
directly from devices with gestures, ,a long term goal of jambu's
capability pallette concept.
For this the work new code would perhaps get the display locations of
the cells (View.py), do it's gaze hit/dwell detections and input
switch events to jambu.
Transparency could be used to make it less obstructive if the user has
compiz or other window manager that supports alpha. A little tweaking
is need to ge tthis fully working.
