So you want to become world famous and run your own web cam? You have the FireWire camera and the OS X box to serve the images from, but what next? Using Oculus, the process couldn't be much simpler.

Oculus is a well written application that takes input from a camera and allows you to add captions, control how often images are snapped, and then uploads them to a file server of your choice. Oculus will not help you use a camera that is currently unsupported in OS X, but if you have a working camera, Oculus makes it ridiculously easy to create your own webcam. There are a number of settings you can control, including the ability to rotate captions randomly from a pre-defined set, define "on" and "off" times, and set various image quality options.

At only $20.00, Oculus is well worth the money if you have aspirations for webcam greatness!
