Flash Webcam Experiments

Bought a shiney new webcam last weekend to play with Flash 8′s webcam input and the new Bitmap functions a bit more, here’s the results so far.

One thing, my camera does 320*240 but most cheapo webcams are only 160*120, so not sure how this will look on a lower res camera (as I’m doing an image scale up by 2), be interested to find out.

And of course they all look a lot better moving, so if you have a webcam click the image to launch the app…

Friday Night Cam, for that ‘after the pub feeling’…

Cube Cam (looks really nice moving)

Spikey Cam

…and I can’t believe no-one else has done this yet…

Ascii Cam

    There’s gotta be an ASCII art craze coming soon. Just after everyone’s done adding bevels and drop shadow’s I guess.
    Seriously, the Flash 8 sites I’ve seen have been pretty restrained so far.

    Hi there,
    My name is Andrea Grasso and I am an art student at nsad. I am trying to do something that is similar to what you have done here:
    “Friday Night Cam, for that ‘after the pub feeling’…”
    Would it be possible to see the code of your project, please. It would be very usefull.

    Thanks anyway.

    Regards
    Andrea
