Greetings!
Interesting project indeed. The muku shuttr device should work just fine as it sends a "volume up" message to the phone, which most camera apps use as the shutter button. Any app can detect the volume up. The question is whether this approach will be accurate enough for your needs.
The remaining part of the job is straight forward.
I am a highly experienced C/C++ programmer specialized in 3d graphics, games, and
educational software for more than 15 years. I currently focus on apps and games for
mobile devices and can deliver cross-platform solutions for Android, iOS, Windows, OSX,
and even Tizen.
I use the Marmalade C++ SDK for rapid development and deployment to all smart phone platforms. I find this tool to be the best way to solve almost any problem.
I am a newbie to freelancer.com so I hope I am doing this right. Just check my website [login to view URL] to see some of the crazy things I like to do in my copious spare time. Bio and resume are there too.
Hope to hear from you soon!
