Problem with built in webcam on vista laptop

Schmidtw — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 12:20:41 +0000

I have a client laptop running vista with a built in webcam.

Device manager says the webcam is there.

There is a link in the programs to uninstall it, but no software that uses it.

Unlike a normal camera, it does not appear in the my computer area and I cannot find a link to it anywhere.

I should probably search the manufacturer’s website, but the client has told me she has not removed a single thing from the unit since purchasing it.

Any ideas?

Face obscuring for webcam

SandyD — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 20:44:21 +0000

Is there software to send out webcam image with only the face blured/obscured or hidden? There is software that projects a completely false image, that is not what I want. The software would probably have to be able to track the face through movement and even reqcquire the face if it goes offscreen. Alternatively, is there some bluescreen technology so you can paint what ever you wish hidden/obscured blue as they do for movie matte shots?
