A useful new control would be : RadWebcam It would show webcam view in realtime and call a function each x seconds (or ms), would be useful for : - user picture to attach to its user account - quick product picture - and for my need : call an external function for barcode recognization I think it would be easy and fast to create this control for WPF, and it would fit perfectly with Silverlight 4 (or 5 ?) webcam support.
