Loading ...The brothers Aspeslagh first wowed us with their award-winning iPhone video-conferencing app - and the mirrors needed to turn the handset's rear-mounted camera into a forward-facing one - and now they're back with software that streams video from the iPhone to a Mac via the WiFi connection.
Being demonstrated at Macworld, the app - iPhoneCam - can be used with iChat, Photo Booth and Skype (in fact any Mac video program) and, most impressively, requires no fiddling with drivers or settings: thanks to Bonjour, if a Mac locates a nearby iPhoneCam-enabled iPhone, it'll automatically connect.
Video is streamed at 30fps, and while some have doubted the use of the software (stating, correctly, that recent Macs have iSight cameras built in) I can see applications where you need to show multiple people or objects/locations o where the Mac is not necessarily in the best position to film from.
They're yet to release iPhoneCam for download.
