- A computer with a webcam
- A dev channel or canary build of Google Chrome
- Download the dev channel or canary build of Google Chrome: http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
- Open this URL in chrome:
chrome://flags/
- Make sure that:
- "Enable PeerConnection" is acivated
- "Enable Media Source API on
- Put the project up on a publicly accessible webserver (I had trouble activating the webcam when accessing the page locally)
- open up index.html.
- Your mileage may vary on other platforms. Opera supposedly supports the getUserMedia API, but I have not had any luck with it.
