Logitech must've had a huge spike in their webcam production after this.

That is one fat bastard in that video. He looks like he was recently stung by a bee and swelled up.

I did that its pretty cool

My webcam is always turned off.  For me to turn it on (which you should not do for this to work), there's an icon on my desktop that I click.

How do you see the cover if the camera is off? For some reason after you go thru the steps above, the webcam will turn on when you hold the cover in front of it and shows it on your monitor. Doesn't make sense.

I just did it again a few minutes ago (6:15 pm here) and it worked perfectly.

As I'd imagined. Safari is a no go as well. Moving on...

Wow, that was awesome. So awesome, my Vista x64 laptop crashed IE over and over. My XP desktop crashed IE and Firefox. I want to do it over and over! Maybe I'll go crash Safari now.

I'm feeling kind of left out now. Augmented reality is an awesome concept, but only if it works in the mainstream. Most poeple aren't going to wander around and try multiple approaches, to "augment" thier reality.
