I am pleased to announce the availability of the CamCanvas API, a JavaScript API that can capture webcam images to a canvas tag so other operations can be performed - read image manipulation and image encoding. The API was designed to save time for developers that wants to use webcam images on ther web projects and don't want to rewrite Flash code for each specific project. In addition, as it transcodes the captured image to the canvas tag, developers can use the canvas API to do all sorts of image manipulation such as chroma key effect or even encode the image bits as a popular image file format.
Check out our first sample at the
CamCanvas Project Page, and the git repository if you want to create new demonstrations or use this in your project. Let us know your wish for future features!
