  * Library: [[http://webcamxtra.sourceforge.net/download.shtml|JMyron (WebCamXtra)]], or [[attachment:JMyron.zip]]
  * If the camera image is mirrored and you can not adjust it from the settings of the camera, you might need [[http://download.cnet.com/ManyCam-Virtual-Webcam/3000-2348_4-10593500.html|ManyCam Virtual Webcam]].
  * For Windows platforms: If you got an error message saying "JMyron.dll can not find dependent libraries" or something similar, please check first whether you have copied the DLL's to required directory. If you are sure you have done it correctly, follow the following steps to install additional DLLs:
   * Download [[attachment:msvc71.zip]]
   * unzip it, copy both {{{msvcp71.dll}}} and {{{msvcr71.dll}}} to
    * {{{C:\Windows\system}}}, if you are running 64bit Windows.
    * {{{C:\Windows\system32}}}, if you are running 32bit Windows.
  * For Mac OS X platforms:
    * Intel (most newer Macs): first unpack and install [[attachment:JMyron.zip]], THEN replace the file "libJMyron.jnilib" in the folder JMyron/library with the file from [[http://www.jibberia.com/projects/libJMyron.jnilib.zip|here]]
    * PowerPC (old Macs only): you can use [[attachment:JMyron.zip]] without any changes
 * Read the book "Getting Started with Processing", chapter 5 "Response", learn how to respond to mouse events.
 * It is recommended to learn how to use a GUI library to create your own interface. Check out [[http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/|ControlP5]].		 || '''Week''' || || '''Lecture''' 13:45 t/m 15:30; PAVILJOEN J17 || || '''Workshop''' 10:45 t/m 12:30; AUDITORIUM 12 ||
