Taking an Open-Source Approach to Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| The Arduino represents an early entrant in the
| emerging open-source hardware movement, which
| like Linux and other open-source software
| projects is driven by the belief that allowing
| duplication is a better way to spur innovation
| than keeping designs under lock and key. Its
| success suggests that the open-source model
| could provide a new way for manufacturers to
| develop and improve upon products.

Sharma: Open Source Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| If the time wasnât ripe for this revolution, news of
| an open-source camera from a university wouldnât have
| made it past the campus science journal. But
| Stanfordâs Frankencamera project is popping up all
| over the radar. The idea is simple â take the
| principles of open-source software and apply them to a
| low-cost assimilation of off-the-shelf camera parts
| tied together with a Linux-based OS thatâs available
| to everyone for modification. Forget proprietary APIs
| and SDKs, this is the holy grail for people that spent
| their school breaks soldering radios.

Open source camera could pave the way for open source hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently a Techrepublic reader sent me a link to this story from Science Daily
| about a professor (Mark Levoy) of computer science at Stanford who is developing
| an open source camera. The article tells the story of a fledgling program,
| Computational Photography, which researches photography to help improve cameras.
| Mr. Levoy developed the camera so that other computational photographers could
| help improve the software.

Frankencamera is open source, runs on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Photo scientists at Stanford University have conceived what is probably the
| world's first open-source camera. Their contraption, dubbed the
| Frankencamera, consists of a Nokia N95 mobile phone camera module, circuit
| board, a couple of lenses from Canon and Linux for all the open-source
| goodness.
