Camera Instructions
To play these games with your webcam, make sure your image is in
the centre of the screen and stands out from the rest of the background.
Ideally, you should also stand in front of a relatively static background,
to prevent false motion detections by the webcam.
We also recommend that you disable Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance
in your webcam's settings or configuration, to prevent sudden intensity
changes from affecting the game play.
General Purpose Camera Input Device
A number of software developers have released special software
that allows almost any existing game to make use of a webcam as an alternative
input device. The basic idea is to use motion detection techniques in order
to simulate mouse movements or keyboard events. The following is a small list
of software that allows such functionality:
