Webcam Glitch

What happens when you let vista install drivers for you? Shit happens. But in this case, good shit.

I was playing around with flash and using the Camera class to save stills via the CS3 AIR extension. Unfortunately, my webcam drivers had not been installed correctly, but the results were some really interesting glitches.

It got me thinking about the ByteArray and socket classes in AS3, with some experimentation, maybe there will be a way to screw up BitmapData in a similar way? Bring back the 90’s and the cool glitch art that seemed to be coming out more often then. It’s amazing what eye candy can be produced by malfunctions.
