Since Flash is not used anymore for web apps, I thought I should remake the old Photobooth in HTML5. This web app captures pictures from the webcam or phone camera and saves them to a server (php or asp). It uses HTML5 and JavaScript to do so and it has a Flash fallback for older browsers (like Internet Explorer) that’s don’t support the HTML5 video object.

You can test out the app here:

Here you have the source files:

We just lunched UserBooth.com. Please give us feedback so we can develop neat features and build the best flash webcam application 🙂

UPDATE: HTML5 Webcam Photobooth Web App

Two days ago I made a little Flash app that will allow anyone to take a picture with a webcam connected to a computer. Everything worked fine in AS3. It was only when I got to the PHP part of the project when I felt like I should ask for help. And I did, I asked a friend or mine (Mihai Bojin) who in a few minutes explained to me exactly what I needed to know in order to get this project working as it should (a big part of the PHP code is made by him).

The project is now open source and you can find the code and the source files underneath 😉
