I'm trying to think if there are more ways to take advantage of the iSight camera (besides all the sexual stuff I'm sure we can all think of) . . . .

For example,

Plugging an isight to a mac mini which is connected to your family room 50 inch LCD, so you can talk to your friends or boss like Marty in Back to the Future 2

Security Camera - Motion Detector/Pet Camera

real games of online poker - where a real poker face matters?

that's all i can think of now . . . . more suggestions welcomed!

Check out BTVPro. It has a motion detection feature that I love. Without it, I'd never know my dog sleeps on my bed when I'm out (and all that time I thought that smell was me).

Couple that with iGlasses and you now have night vision.
