It was developed during a project course at the Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland.

the cool thing is, the software uses the camera of your phone and streams it to a bluetooth enabled computer or directly to a host via tcp/ip. u can even forward the videosignal into skype. but the whole package includes more...

* A client for Symbian Series 60 smartphones

* A client for J2ME camera phones

* A GUI application and a QuickTime component for OS X

* A video server for Linux

* A web interface based on the Drupal CMS

(Error Level Analysis. The bright area indicates where the image has been manipulated)

Dr. Neal Krawetz presented a software tool that is able to detect if an image has been digitally processed using format- and image-analysing technics @ this years BlackHat Convention.

It is actually possible to determine the last "tool" that created the image ---> this means u can tell the camera model if its the original image or the version of photoshop that has been used to alter the image.

see his blog for more examples.
