The "Creative WebCam NX Pro", for example, is said to produce 1024 x 768 freeze images (we don't need a real video stream, after all). A nice example of a high resolution webcam is

Also, on a burn down chart there is not that much to read - the important information is the tendency of the graph. I would also expect it to work for a board of the current iterations user stories - all we needed to be able to read are the story names and their state (not started, in work and done). For something more detailed, we might actually need something more elaborate, though.
I don't know wether it would work. But it's what I wanted to try first, because it's simple, fosters feedback and as direct communication as I could imagine in such a situation.
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
