Using OpenCV Output as Webcam

Question

So, I want to write a program to make the processed output from OpenCV be seen as a WebCam. I want to use it to create effects for a program like Skype. I am stuck and Googl

Answer 1

So, I found a hack for this; not necessarily the best method but it DEFINITELY works..

Download a program similar to SplitCam; this can emulate a webcam feed from a video file, IP feed and/or a particular section of the desktop screen..

So in essence, you can write a program to process the webcam video and display it using OpenCV's highgui window and you can use SplitCam to just take this window as input for any other application like Skype. I tried it right now it works perfectly.!
