So the question at hand deals with the ability to share my desktop using the android 2.2 tablet, zenithink 180 zt to be exact.
The main purpose of my application is to be able to tutor students via skype. I use the maplePaint app and what I want is for my students to view the desktop while I help them solve equations or whatever their questions might be.
One solution that I can think of is to utilize the HDMI output of the tablet since most of the programs such as FUZE MEETING and WEBEX require you to pay, what I was thinking involves using the output of HDMI socket and somehow plugging this into the usb port and making my laptop or desktop to believe that this is a webcam input. If I can find such a converter that would allow me to take the HDMI output and digitize it and input to the usb port, I could direct skype from my laptop to consider the tablet output as the webcam input and the student would see my tablet instead of the webcam and I could use an external mic for conversations.
I know that this question is not mainly regarding tablet pc but I wonder if anyone had any experience with a cable that would take HDMI output and convert it into a format that usb would accept it like a webcam.
Any idea you have is greatly appreciated.
Regards
