Here's my situation: I have a wi-fi card for my camera, and I can snap photos, and they automatically show up in a specific directory on my computer.
I've got a remote database with a bunch of items that i've tagged with id's and I want to be able to scan a particular item, and then associate these photos on my local machine to them. Ideally, what I would like is there to be a way for the page to actively poll this directory via ajax, or whatever, and have it show the photos on my "assignment" page as they show up. Then as I select the items, I would have the ability to upload the image to the remote server. I think that I can accomplish these things with what Gears brings to the table, but I'm having trouble piecing it all together. The only major stick is how to get the local images to show up in an active page. I think I should be able to use the LocalServer piece, but I'm struggling with some of the details. Thanks! bob
