I wrote a cheap teleprompting software solution for $25 at http://www.directprompt.com I think it scrolls pretty smooth. Its good for DIY teleprompting.

I’ve built a text reverserator for your DIY teleprompting needs. Check it out and download the source so you can run it on your own box and not have to wait for my slow server at home to render your text.

Actually, this solves a problem I’ve been bothered by for years now, one that has nothing to do with teleprompting.

In video conferencing, especially with a friend, it’s incredibly annoying that you can’t look into each other’s eyes. Talking to someone who is constantly looking at the ground ruins much of the fun for me. But with something like this, you can watch the image and have the camera right behind it–problem solved. Maybe I’ll go rig something up with my iSight and see…I can already a foresee a few geometry issues, but I think it should be pretty doable.

here is another homebuilt prompter, much nicer looking, a bit more expensive.

this could be used for other things such as a airplane style HUD, or overlaying.. something… holograms anyone?

Y’know, a similar setup with a PDA could make for a cheap HUD in the car…

pretty cool for those who would need it and dirt cheap too. too bad the guy acts like a robot when he uses the thing though.

Could this also be used as a cheap HUD?
Using a pair of polarized filters might make it work even better.

That’s the point, unless you’re pretty far away, you can tell you’re not looking at the camera. This lets you look almost right at the camera while reading.

yah for the DIY stuff, but couldn’t you just use the laptop and set the webcam on top of hit while running powerpoint or soemthing?
