A lovely storyOnce Upon a time there was a tree, that tree lived on a hill. On one day, that hill was plagued with nuclear warfare. The next day, a war broke out between the nations which border the hill, and the tree was caught in the crossfire. Not knowing what to do, the tree decided to tough it out and, well...let's say the tree lost.

Cloaking with Webcamby ~ssjskipp

Flash / Interactive

Video example: [link]

This is a quick webcam test I made. I've been wanting to play with the BitmapData funcitons and webcam inputs for a while, but nothing worked and it all always exploded in the end!

Well, I came up with a way to do something, and I wanted to see if it'd work. It's far from perfect, but it does it's job, and I luff it.

What is it, you ask? Cloaking. Not something where you don't show up at ALL, but something where it has a displacement for cloaked objects (anything that moves).

Here's how to work it:
Step 1. Have a webcam
Step 2. Get out of the picture so it's a static background
Step 3. Click the flash -- it should show a visible change form the snapshot
Step 4. That's it, get in the picture and move around! It should be all warpy-ish and displace around moving objects.

I'll upload a video of me working in in a bit~

This is truly impressive! I like how you've made several adjustments to create a Flash movie that allows webcam users to make themselves invisible! It must have been hard doing all that programming! Very well done!

Thanks -- the concept is really simple. Background is known, difference from background and 'foreground' (live feed) is anything moving -- IE people. Then it's a matter of transforming that background image properly

Ah yes...I believe I remember coming across a similar concept while experimenting with all kinds of visual effects on EyeToy Groove. Of course, it didn't include an invisibility visual effects.
