holy_calamity writes "Swiss researchers have developed java software that has bluetooth-capable camera phones form a distributed camera network. Each phone shares information on visual events with its neighbours and can work out the spatial position of phones around it. The software will become open source sometime next year, and the creators say it could be used to make a quick and dirty surveillance system. I like the idea, but agree with the independent researcher who said their application idea is a bit lame. Can /. readers think of better uses for this?"
