USB Camera?

[madscijr]

I don't know much about this topic of accessing PC/Mac/Linux devices.

Is it possible to capture a still image from a USB camera from within a QB64 program?   Or would this be incredibly complicated?   Obviously the easiest thing to do is just manually capture the image (using the camera software) then _loadimage into QB64.  

I'm wondering if QB64 could be used to capture a new image at a certain time interval and discard the previous image.

I know Spriggsy has the API knowhow to make this work -at least in Windows- but how cool would it be to have some native QB64 commands to work with a Webcam or other such standard devices?
