What is eyecontact?
eyecontact is an application that allows you to
attach images to your address book entries. Using
eyecontact, you will be able to view your address
entries along with an image. Images and
thumbnails are in color when used with a color
Handspring Prism. eyecontact works with the
same database of addresses that your normal
address book uses. You will still have your regular
address book after installing eyecontact.
A few simple functions allow you to choose and
capture images. eyecontact can be used on most
Palm OS based devices. However, the Handspring
devices allow you to attach the eyemodule or
eyemodule2 digital camera modules to capture
and choose images to attach. eyecontact works
together with the eyemodule digital camera image
capture feature and image database.
If you have an eyemodule application installed
with images in its database, eyecontact allows
you to easily attach one of these images to an
address. If you also have the eyemodule or
eyemodule2 digital camera inserted into a
Handspring Springboard slot, you can also
capture images directly from the eyecontact
application.

In the Address Edit screen, tap Choose to choose
an image from the eyemodule image database.
Tap Capture to capture a new image using the
eyemodule digital camera.
Choosing an image
Tapping a thumbnail attaches that image to the
address and takes you back to the Address

Address Edit
Creating and editing addresses in eyecontact is
similar to editing them in the regular address book.
If you have any eyemodule digital camera in place,
you can also attach an image to an address by
either choosing an existing one or by capturing a
new one.
Images captured through eyecontact are also
viewable from the eyemodule application.
Due to Palm OS limitations, users with Palm 3.1 OS
will not be able to view images on the Address
Edit screen. However, images are viewable on
Address View screens. There will be a camera
icon to denote that an image is attached. Tap the
icon to view it.
Tapping “Remove” removes the
image that is currently attached
to this address.
Tapping “Capture” activates the
eyemodule (if it is in place) for
image capturing. To capture an
image, either tap on the “capture”
button on the screen or press the
up button on the handheld. You can
then confirm whether or not you
want to save the image.
Once an image is captured, it will
be attached to the currently
viewed address.
Tapping “Choose” presents a
thumbnail gallery of all the
eyemodule images currently on
the handheld.
Tapping a thumbnail will ‘highlight’
and attach that image to the
address and take you back to the
Address Edit screen.

While viewing your address list, you can edit
your Preferences by tapping the menu icon on
the device and then selecting “Preferences”
