Sun Spots

[pcaston2]

Hello,

I use UltraVNC all the time and I love it. One thing that I'd like to be able to do, however, is to have UltraVNC create 'sun spots' on my desktop wherever there is a lot of motion. For instance if a movie was running I'd like it if a solid color was rendered roughly over top of the image, then compressed and sent to the user. Mousing over the area could force the content to be displayed. I've built an AutoIt app that approximates this, it just creates black squares on top of areas that have frequent motion, and it can be calibrated for granularity, tolerance, etc.

Here's the EXE and source: http://www.4shared.com/zip/Gb7WFHR_/sun ... furl=d1url

UltraVNC is even better suited to this task, as it could monitor a location and just render the blackouts over the image it sends out, so it could continue to check if the content underneath is changing. With my implementation it has to go back to showing the content momentarily and figure out if it's still fluctuating.

This is a quick script I wrote, with bad efficiency, quality, and functionality. There's many ways to improve on it, it's just an example.

Thanks for taking a look,

-Phil
