My first papervision webcam experiment
The Papervision Workshop on Flash on the Beach this year really opened my eyes on the Papervision front. I never really made the step to start experimenting with Papervision because it’s not the most accessible thing to start with. At least that’s what I thought…
Ralph Hauwert really showed how easy Papervision can be and that you can have a scene up and running in no time. So hey, in comes a rainy weekend in London and you can see the result below.
I just wanted to do something weird with a webcam and Papervision. I’ve applied a threshold to the images I capture using the webcam. The further along the line the lower the value for the threshold gets. So you get a kind of tunnel that first only shows the very bright bits and then slowly shows everything.
And I’ve added a little rotation etc just because I can 
I’ve put the source code in a zip. You will need the Papervision SWC or AS3 classes to run it. If you don’t have them, please have a look at the Papervision blog on the right side (Getting started 2.0).
hey!
First thanks for all your experiments and source code.
I wanted to ask you if it’s possible to detect the dominant color that is on the screen.
I’m doing a project but need to detect which color is displayed on the screen ( the major area)
without having to pick an object and track it based on color.
Any help will be really appreciated,
Thanks in advance!
Yes that is possible but I will have to think about that one for a bit. Will post if when I’ve got something working like that
