- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Settings, click webcam, then select the input
- rspence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I'm pretty sure we'll see a video collage of idiots waving their hands around infront of their computers on YouTube in the very near future.
- kiddailey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's using Flash's built-in support for web cams and using actionscript (Flash programming language) to determine how to manipulate the cube. In other words, everything is running in your own browser once the Flash file is loaded. And it doesn't appear to be doing anything with the stream -- there's no network traffic once the page is done loading. Besides, why would it? Nothing says "boring" like a bunch of video of hands waving in front of the camera ;)
- Quasimondo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Well, I have built this thing and you have to trust me on this, but I definitely do not download your camera stream to my server. Why should I want to do this anyway?
- ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9right click on the flash, go to settings, and specify video source is firewire
thinkbox beat me by ONE second - RamMasterRay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I've already seen everything and I want to die.
- daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Does it predict murder?

- PezFr33k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6If you don't want to run in on their servers, you can download this directly.

And then run it on your own local webserver if you want.
Works well on my powerbook + iSight, as long as the source is set to firewire. - linz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5For those itching to use their webcam to control "stuff" :

("eyeToy" for your mac/pc) - Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Works well with the MacBook, thats kinda neat.
- lo0ol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Strange. Couldn't get it to work with the integrated iSight in the PPC iMac. Would have liked to give it a shot. :|
- MrC539, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Hah, that's pretty cool. I bet they set up the site to upload the images that the webcam takes to their servers, though :-P
- EviLiu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It works pretty well.
- Lewisham, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@RamMasterRay
That is the single greatest digg comment ever. - ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Has anyone got this to work with an external iSight?
Nevermind, got it to work. Just righ click, go to settings and specify source of video - DenLadeSide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Works on my iMac G5 w iSight integrated...
These cameras seem ver' naaice.... but can anyone confirm the wikipedia statement claiming that the Intel iMacs have a much higher resolution? ... or is it just software?
*grrr* ... thought I was 1st to reply ;-) - awfulshot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6if i only had a webcam..
- NumbCore, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I might have to hook up my webcam and try this.
- PyroOnASwing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3if you do have a webcam you should deffinatly try this.
im thinking its pretty awesome to be able to do this. does anyone know of anything else that can do this type of thing? - RamMasterRay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1 Soundstream looks cool but there is no windows version. If you have a mac though it's worth your time to play with it. http://www.pcheese.net/software/soundstream/
- sporkwitch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Doesn't seem to want to activate my webcam :( oh well, so much for trying it out. I can say that stuff like this isn't overly difficult, as it's integrated in the software with most higher end logitech webcams (even complete avatars that have limited ability to mimic facial movement, not just what way you're facing, but actually track blinking and raising eyebrows).
- EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Does anyone know of a .fla file that will do this for you?
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -9/+10Ya think??
- Flyboy4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2reminds me of the stupid eyetoy games for the ps2. still pretty cool ;)
- zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2AWESOME, sooo cool... Maybe even cooler then soundstream
- Ikioi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've tried it, and it still leaves much to be desired, but it is a great proof of concept. This would be the kind of control I would want for an XGL enabled linux desktop with its 6 sided cube. Have a webcam that watches you "grab" the side of your screen, and spin it.
- Wheemer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8The cube morphs into something else if you try this while naked.
The use of different body parts can produce amazing results.
Be sure to try this and post your findings here. - Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Pretty cool. I didn't expect it to be so accurate.
- dvgraphics, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thats pretty fun! Works with my ext. iSight.
- ckoerner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Pretty Neat.
- skinfitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Are you seeing 'iSight' in your video source list or are you using Firewire Video?
- CosmicJustice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why is this interesting? Logitech has shipped these type games with it's cameras for years.
- kalphegor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1only if you kill a plant in front of the webcam
- fusioned, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1After I set it to "USB" camera, my G5 iMac's built-in iSight worked just fine and this was insanely cool. A totally awesome thing people should try out. I'd love to see more fun stuff done with this technology.
- swanson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1my webcam is a bit crap so the cube sort of flies about in all directions, but its pretty cool.
- skinfitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For iSight I had to also under privacy settings choose to allow access to the camera / mic.
- ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well first of all, it's on the web... It's neat.
- chadu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1here is the reference for the object: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary119.html
you'll also need the new Flash 8 getPixel methods to write a simple computer vision
write it yourself... not that crazy difficult. get a 3-d cube fla form one of the bazillion sites out there and tie the spinning of it to the movement in your webcam.
Grant Skinner is also doing some great webcam stuff with Flash: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/11/flash_8_webcam_1.html - Phoenixfury, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I turned on my webcam's face tracking capability. That was pretty cool! I had better control of moving the cube with my head than I did with my hand. If I turned my head left, the cube turned left.. If I turned my head right, the cube turned right.. If I looked up or down, the cube turned up or down.That was pretty neato!
- captnkurt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I knew they had an ulterior motive when I saw video of my own hands at www.upsleeve.com.
