Writing an app to control my robot and I want to be able to show the image the webcam is seeing in my app

The robot is a traxster II and serializer with an EEE PC netbook on top (as shown in other post), currently using the built in webcam but intend to fit a better quality webcam to robot at some point

I have managed to write app to control all aspects of the robot for now, but cannot for the life of me see how to get image from webcam showing

any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

sorry if this is posted in wrong section

You might start by looking at OpenCV (Open Computer Vision).  It's free, and very powerful...That's what I'm using on my Mini-9 under Ubuntu, but it works w/ Windows too.

Roborealm will do what you want. You can set it up to see the webcam, then you can use a web page in your app to see it. I did it about a year ago and it worked fine. You can then use all the cool roborealm features as well.
