I'm doing a school project on augmented reality, and I wondered, is it possible to do this sort of thing on scratch? i.e: You show the webcam a picture, and something happens?
All suggestions welcome!

Dang, it's too bad the search is broken right now! But the answer is yes, there are lots of cool things to do with the camera.

Check out this page for a description:

I think we lost our old galleries a day or two ago when we migrated, and maybe some projects, so I can't find an example at the moment, but there are some cool ones!

it may, however be a bit limited, Scratch doesn't have many video blocks that would help with this sort of thing, but it could be done.

Here's a fun example!

We're going to update the homepage soon with a row that shows galleries of cool stuff you can try - one of which contains camera blocks example projects.

Stevetheipad, I think you'll be surprised by what's possible.

I hope so.

I'm going to get my hands on the project creator in the next few days, and I'll be checking everyone out including the video blocks.

Thanks so much for the links When i get my webcam working, I'll try it out
