About JussPress: JussPress is a research project at the University of California, San Diego. JussPress is an experimental wireless imaging system. JussPress serves as a development platform to explore the emerging technology of wireless imaging. We are trying to design a system where captured photos are instantly transferred wirelessly to be defaultly publicly published online. The system will also automatically organize images contextually in a number of ways including by calendar days and location. With one click the photo is captured, transferred, edited, organized, and published. We feel that these features will alter people's usage patterns for photography and we intend to study these changes.

9/13/02 Welcome to the updated version of JussPress. We now have a MySQL database backend and XML-RPC to transfer data. The UI is also updated. I hope you like it. I know you like the random picture in front. Pretty fun to refresh..refresh..refreshrefreshrefresh...
Developers: Below are two samples of how we transfer images to the JussPress site using XML-RPC. Using these samples you can write your own applications that use JussPress. You basically just call the function "putImage" at "http://www.jusspress.com/putImage.php" with the username, password, image binary, date, and time as parameters. The date should be formated as YYYYMMDD and the time as HHMMSS in 24 hour time.
Here is a PHP sample using UsefulInc's implementation of XML-RPC for PHP.
Here is a Visual C++ sample using Simon Fell's XML-RPC COM component.
I would love to see any cool software you write. Other cool implementations would be an app to send images from a folder in Windows. Then people could post all their old digital camera photos online. It would be also cool to get JussPress working on one of those new cell phones that have cameras. I looked into this before, but I found problems getting the API and programming the phones. Some of the new camera phones don't use J2ME, BREW, or Symbian. The next problem is getting the API to use the camera. Anyhow, if anyone gets any new camera APIs, let me know.
Here is an old version of the HP Pocket Camera API that still works with iPaqs as well as Jornadas.
Here is the API for the Pretec CF cameras at http://web.archive.org/web/20030209214128/http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/digital_imaging/CompactCamera.htm. The one advantage of this camera is that it works on almost every Pocket PC. The HP cam only works in iPaqs and Jornadas.
Sony just came out with a new Clie with a camera and an optional 802.11 card. This would be a damn good setup for JussPress. It would be the smallest form factor using 802.11 yet. Too bad we don't have an app for it, although we do know how to program PalmOS. Maybe later, as for now here is the API.
