I too have an intrest in this, which leads
to the question.. What motion capture
cameras work with FreeBSD?  I have an old
B/W conectix Quick Cam I want to start with
Although I haven't gotten it to work yet.
Are there others that work?

I like the gate idea especailly using old
otherwise unsed hardware.
