How Mojo-Cam Works

Fat, Lazy, and Happy, that's Mojo.

The technology behind Mojo-Cam is simple junk-store-shelf bits and pieces. We know because that's were we got all this stuff. Mojo-Cam is built from one transmitter, six dozen receivers, cameras, a file server, and software. All of this makes the first PTS (Pussy Tracking System).

First we put a very low power transmitter on Mojo. The pulses it sends are picked up by a grid of receivers embedded in the ceiling. By sampling the relative field strengths of all receivers, we can tell which grid square Mojo is in. The process begins any time Mojo moves to another grid square.

Several video cameras are then aimed at that grid square. A picture from each camera is digitized, and stored on a file server. A program named Points of Mojo runs and examines each picture. Artificial Intelligence (sometimes stupidity) determines first if the pictures have adequate contrast ratios and luminance levels. If the lighting is bad, or non-existent, the process ends. From the pool of acceptable pictures, the program looks for specific points of Mojo in the pictures and chooses the best.

Another program moves the new picture to the web server. This process is rather slow, but then so is Mojo.
