I likewise could not get this to work because I am on a Mac. Did anyone else notice that in the "Making Of" video that they were designing and conceptualizing with a Mac?

Of course, if it's controlled through a web cam, I imagine there is a higher percentage of Mac user's with cameras due to the fact that they are built into every iMac, Mac Book, and even the new displays.

Is there any way to record stats on visitors with webcam availability? Or are there any stats available on the subject? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] interaction via webcam
There are a host of these Augmented Reality (AR) experiences showing up online (GE's Smart Grid is quite nice) [1] and I'm working on one at the moment. A key challenge we face is making the application download a seamless experience. Unfortunately the technology is not as universal as Acrobat, Flash or indeed Java, AIR or Siverlight and often requires a 3rd-party application. This necessitates a disjointed download-install-execute user journey which kind of detracts from the moment of magic when the element appears on your desktop/hand etc. More successful implementations use kiosk environments where the technology is already installed and running and the moment of interaction is instantaneous. Check out Inition's work in this arena [2]. Of course, as pretty as wind-turbines and the like are in 3D, the next evolution is to make the AR actually *do* something, whilst this rather sinister example [3] from Japan achieves interactivity, there is little purpose other than proof of concept ... yet.
