News: Iris Public Beta - iSight Webcam Software
If you have needed an excuse to fire up your iSight webcam on you Mac, you are in luck. Mild Mannered Industries has introduced a new software application to allow you to take snapshots, make movies, record timelapse movies, detect motion (with email alerts), and to use the iSight as a webcam.
"Every new iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro comes with a built-in iSight, but most people don't seem to use them very much. Iris makes it easy to do a lot more cool stuff with your iSight, from making timelapse movies to guarding your stuff." said Martin Redington, founder of MildMannered Industries. "Although we've packed a lot of functionality into Iris, we've kept the user interface as simple and straightforward as possible".
"We also wanted people do be able to share and export the content that they'd created. Iris's gallery lets you upload your pictures to Flickr, and iPod, Apple TV and iPhone export is also built-in. We'll be adding support for other online services and formats in future versions."
Iris requires Mac OS X 10.4 or greater, and an iSight camera (built-in or external). Other FireWire or USB Cameras are not officially supported in this version, although users are encouraged to try them.
Iris is available as a free download during the Public Beta period.
