Hi,

great device, I love it!
I’ll have to try the IC capture software, we always use the Logitech Quick cam. This produces quite a large video files, unfortunately.
Our device has the mobile fixed to a plastic block, so it’s handheld. If you have a bit larger hands… ;-)

In response to Timothy above:

You’re right, we use a second camera and an application called IC Capture,
http://www.theimagingsource.co...../overview/
IC Capture displays the image from the Device Camera onto the computer desktop. This allows Morae to grab the IC Capture image from the desktop and get a picture-in-picture feed from a second camera pointed at the user’s face.

Good luck!

Hi all, you may also want to take a look at the one we produced: http://www.noldus.com/site/doc200402054. It’s not DIY but we trust it’s worth its value. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Hey Kelly.

The video demo had picture in picture of the user, as well as the main video of what’s going on on the mobile’s screen.

Q1) I’m guessing that you have a 2nd web cam that’s shooting the user, yes?
Q2) What app is it that you’re using to do this?

Morae records the computer’s screen activity + 1 webcam shooting the user. In this case, instead of recording a computer’s screen activity, we have 2 input sources from webcams. So I’m wondering how you did it. Do tell :)

Thanks.

we also made a Mobile testing camera rig,I think it’s more cheaper and more convenience to use ~~
we only use a camre which have a plastic metal string and some adhesive tape~~
