Cheese uses your webcam to take photos and videos, applies fancy special effects and lets you share the fun with others.



Cheese is a very interesting program, small and can be inserted in Ubuntu by default. Today we have almost all Notebooks webcams installed. It would be very interesting.

Note: The installation could be smart. If one was identified Webcam on the machine, it installed the Cheese.

Whichever webcam program is considered the best in terms of user-friendliness, features, integration and ease of future development should be the one integrated, or offered as an option for installation :)

If this is Cheese, then this should be the one chosen!

I am only suggesting this because I am unsure what the actual best Webcam program on Ubuntu is, and surely, whether it's Cheese or not, wouldn't it be logical to install the one that is the best? I am VERY confused as to why people keep marking this down :(

Not all (and as far as I know, very few) people have webcams. Therefore, there is little reason for webcam software to be installed by default. Instead, Ubuntu should propt to install applicable applications on detection of hardware. This would not only be limited to webcams but would also apply to fingerprint readers, bluetooth devices, etc.

My idea is, add some unique effects to cheese (and return them to the original project). Next, create a platform for creating effects (from simple to outlandish, simple being to add images for overlay, and to save settings that you used to accomplish something, and outlandish being to allow programming new effects, maybe in python?), and uploading these effects to a kind of effect cloud; a website for sharing cheese effects in a standardized format.

This would set ubuntu, and linux in general, far ahead of the game!

Following the "plugin" design model, add plugin support to Cheese so that customized effects could easily be added or removed. These plugins could easily be distributed in a separate package for those who wish to install them.
