Instructions about using the ucanvcam virtual camera on linux and windows have been updated in the user manual.

Coming soon: create pictures or animations with the picture mixer, and use them from ucanvcam.

The ucanvcam GUI is now compiling for Linux in portable form and available for download. No need to compile it manually any more. Any feedback about failures/successes with the build would be much appreciated. It has so far been reported to run on various versions of debian, ubuntu, and redhat.

ucanvcam is a free and open virtual webcam tool, currently supporting Linux and Windows. No Mac support yet, for lack of a Mac guru…

We added output-to-file as an option to ucanvcam on Linux; in a related event, we now have a demo video of a rather enigmatic elephant.

Is it just me, or is google trends to a first approximation just reporting what has recently been on TV? I found the trends an interesting idea to begin with, but seriously, more and more it looks like a very high-tech method for figuring out what was shown on TV a few minutes ago. I guess broadcast media can really push a fraction of the nation’s consciousness around.
