Teleconference Robot

[acovian]

Hello,

I am currently a senior in Computer Engineering and I am in my second semester of Senior Design. Our project is to create a teleconference robot for our professor who travels a lot to be able to be present at the university. I am in charge of creating the User Interface our professor uses to control the robot. We are using Linphone(SIP video conference software) to do video and audio. We want to be able to take the video feed from this program and include it in a User Interface that will be created in Labview. Does anybody have any suggestions how to implement this? I have attached a screenshot on what we want the UI to look like.

Hi Andrew,

This project looks very interesting!  Unfortunately, to get the video stream into LabVIEW would be extremely difficult, because the VOIP client you are using is written in C, and it uses a media streaming library also written in C.  you might be able to use the native dlls, and program an XControl to act at as the video window.  Or you could see if you could get the video to render in C# and then use a .net container to view it in LabVIEW.

Here's a link to a tutorial on XControls: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3198

What about Google Talk ActiveX plugin. Is there way to implement that in labview.

I'm not familiar with the google talk ActiveX plugin, and a quick google search didn't give me anything reliable.  You might be able to hook into the Google Talk API using LabVIEW.

Take a look at: http://code.google.com/apis/talk/

Hi Anju,

This is a post from a few years ago. You might have more luck creating a new post.

However, it looks like Google Talk has been replaced by Google Hangouts according to their site. What audio and video software are you trying to connect to? This would be important information to include in a new post, so that people can help address your question better!
