a range of possibilities including: uploading images presence in game: photo of me in webpage or game, locally only. input device: using motion detection
Um. I think the place to start with a request like this is for something "simple", like a <input type=file> control which was specific to image capture. <input type="file" capture="still"> would be one thought. I'm sure many many others on the web have already discussed this at some length.

I don't think there's anything very actionable about this bug as the feature request is so vague.

filed 2 radar enhancement bugs related to this bug #5653025 iSight internal: URI & unique local URI it would be helpful if there was a simple way to link to the internal iSight camera. web pages and dashboard widgets could then involve the user. this would require a simple unique uri that was common to all macs such as: file:///iSight.jpg or similar and also a variation for serving on the web similar to: http://peepo.getmyip.com/~JonathanChetwynd/zanadu.svg but more likely http://peepo.getmyip.com/~JonathanChetwynd/iSight.jpg #5653030 iSight internal: motion detection keyword: Accessibility gesture is a vital skill. the internal camera has the potential to be a useful input device. motion detection offers the opportunity to control and move the cursor by gesture.
It looks like a specification known as the Capture API is emerging. It appears to cover this use case and more. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 43239 ***
