Yes, there's a lot that could be done with plugins. Right now, it's just "input" of "media" but one can imagine much more: output (better snapshot, movie recording), camera handling, auto animation (a plugin for presenters for instance using camera to detect movement and trigger appropriate gestures), etc... I can see a lot of specific requirements of vertical markets (education, training, medical) being handled nicely with plugins rather than wholesale modification of the viewer. Would be fun to organize an IW brainstorm session on this and see what we collectively could come up with. Cheers, - Merov
