I cobbled this Webcam effect together for no other reason than creative curiosity – a digital hall of mirrors thing, I suppose. Best viewed on your laptop, since it requires Flash and a Webcam…
And for the techies, here’s the source code (zipped FLA).

Head tracking in 3D
I started trying to find useful things to do with face detection, but with limited success. I tried using the Libspark Haar Cascades implementation of face detection with Papervision3D to create a sort of head tracking effect, but it’s a little flaky – partly because of poor tracking accuracy and partly because it’s too CPU intensive. You can view it on its own page here.
Webcam controlled 3D Earth
Playing around some more with my webcam, I cooked up this 3D Earth with Papervision and made it controllable through a webcam (if you have one). The motion detection is rather flaky, since it tracks the centre-point of a whole area of motion – if you move a lot it will just get confused 🙂
