 ISight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
iSIGHT is also the name of a computer program for multidisciplinary design optimization.
The iSight is a webcam made by Apple Computer.
The iSight is compatible with Mac OS X as well as Windows (though reputedly, notoriously difficult to set up properly) and GNU/Linux computers; the libdc1394 library is required under Linux and a GUI is available (Coriander).

 ATPM 9.10 - Review: iSight
The Apple iSight solution is not designed with Windows in mind.
The only way for the program to work, however, is if you are using an isight, but I use my video camera, and I don't want to pay for a new isight.
Focusing isn’t a problem, because the iSight has a built-in auto-focus mechanism.

 Apple's ISight, Good And Bad - Forbes.com
ISight with a Powerbook and the iChat AV software
But it seems there is some room for improvement on the iSight and the software it works with that could be incorporate into a second-generation iSight down the road.
Certainly the iSight and the iChat AV software will go through some revisions over the coming year in much the same way the iPod has evolved.

 iSight Reader Reports
So when the isight is plugged into the imac 500 i use ispq software and when i am on the ibook 700 i use both ichat and ispq.
iChat AV works with isight on the ibook 700 as you would expect but on the imac 500 it does not as you would expect but i can use the isight with way better controls on the ispq software.
Concerns about the iSight needing more light than the average camera is simply a software issue...

 Teleran - iSight
iSight transparently captures or "sniffs" query and data usage information at the native database protocol packet level.
iSight delivers a continuous and comprehensive audit of dynamic business intelligence, data warehouse and enterprise reporting environments, enabling companies to understand and optimize how users interact with applications, data and system resources.
In BI and data warehouse environments user interactions with applications and databases are unpredictable, resource intensive and constantly changing.

 MacSlash iSight: The First Five Minutes.
Inside lay the pieces of iSight, and a whole new world of videoconferencing for the desktop computer.
It's not a perfect solution, as it requires that you use a computer that is both capable of video iChat and being left alone at all times, which is a bit of a kludge.
I just ordered one and if video-conferencing is the only thing it's good for I might just cancel it.

 Amazon.com: Apple iSight - Web camera - color - audio - IEEE 1394 (FireWire): Electronics
iSight’s lens can autofocus as close as 50 mm (2 inches) or infinitely far, so whenever you’re in front of your camera, your image is always sharp and clear.
I easily move it around and transfer it back and forth between my desktop computer and laptop.
A custom-designed, three-part lens consists of two aspherical elements that focus on a 1/4-inch CCD sensor with 640x480 (VGA) resolution.

 Hugo Schotman: Using iSight as a Microphone for Podcasting
To avoid this we need to set the iSight's input gain rather low and move our mouth close to the microphone so we 're coming through clear (and loud).
Select the iSight as input under the 'Source' tab.
Since a lot of recording programs like Garageband don't accept 48 kHz signals as input you can't use the iSight directly.

 Macworld: Review: FireWire Web Cams
The iSight comes with three different stands, and it works equally well on a notebook, a flat-panel display, a CRT monitor, and an eMac.
The iSight is the only camera with an autofocus feature, which is both good and bad.
In fact, the iSight's picture was noticeably dimmer than that of the other cameras.

 Want to Do More with an iSight than Chat?
As a developer, I want to develop open source software for iSight, but do not want to be locked into anything proprietary with regard to driving the iSight.
Can I do it, or is iSight for Macintosh computers only?
For instance, what if I wanted to drive iSight connected to a device running Linux or (cough cough Windows XP) on an Intel machine that has a Firewire card?

 Is it just me, or does the iSight look like the HAL 9000?
Since the interface for the HAL 9000 computer included not only the lens but a flat veticle panel, I'd say the iSight looks nothing like it.
Since the interface for the HAL 9000 computer included not only the lens but a flat vertical panel, I'd say the iSight looks nothing like it.

It enables you to capture audio and video with the iSight, encode it with any QuickTime codec (including Mpeg-4), and either stream it to another computer via the Internet, or save it as a movie file to your hard drive.
For many of your projects you can use the iSight attached to your Mac as you would for web conferencing.
In this article I'll show you how to use the iSight with some very inexpensive QuickTime-based software to create top-notch video presentations.

Thanksfully before writing the thing off completely I did some Googling and turned up this excellent O'Reilly article: Making Movies with the Apple iSight, which shows how Apple's free QuickTime Broadcaster software can be used to capture footage straight from the iSight to disk.
If you have a mac and wants a webcam, theres no excuse anymore because it works with all major pc IM software now.

Interestingly enough, this limitation isn't inherent to the iSight itself—Apple simply hasn't provided a software interface to the iSight's built-in capabilities.
[As a bonus, iGlasses also allows you to use an iSight camera with iChat on Power Mac G3 computers with processors slower than 600MHz—computers not officially supported by Apple for use with the iSight.
And according to the developer, a new version is on the way that offers integration with a number of other webcam applications.]

 MacFixIt - A reminder about iSight FireWire Interference
On numerous occasions we've reported on an issue where iSight cameras can cause significant interference with other FireWire devices -- particularly the iPod and FireWire hard drives.
(I've also experienced the iSight interference myself - I ended up taking the iSight to work where I have no other FireWire devices.)
As noted in our mini-tutorial Minimizing FireWire (iPod, iSight) interference there are a number of workarounds for this issue, including switching FireWire ports, using an externally powered FireWire hub, isolating the iSight on its own FireWire bus, power cycling the system and devices, applying the latest iSight firmware update and more.

Filed in: Web, media, Mac, 15:46 PT iRecordNow captures the input of the iSight camera, or apparently any other FireWire video input, and saves it in a format that can be edited in iMovie or Final Cut Pro (which I hope to have in my hot little hands when I get back from Asia…).
My ranting on videoblogging notwithstanding, this is going to be a very handy tool for creating reasonably professional video on the Web at a low cost: iRecordNow is $15, an iSight is $150, and iMovie comes free with Mac OS X. It& even cheaper if you download QuickTime Broadcaster and own your own DV camera.
