[PD] processing webcam input with GEM

[metafor at gmx.net]

hi vasily

i did this kind of things (colordetection) with pd and pdp+pidip. it works
like a charm and it's fast, even if you use an object multiple times, in 
my case
17. it's linux and macOSX only. but i think you should give dynebolic 
(dynebolic.org) a try,
it's a linux live-cd and i think the mentioned software should run without
installing anything.

if there is no 3D involved i think you rather take this then using gem.
most people i know working with linux and webcams are using the ones 
from philips.
i think 740 (yellow rubber focus, not red) but i tried logitech and it 
worked as well,
have a look on the supported models list of the pwc-driver:

if you need to stay on win i don't have much idea what to use, probably 
eyesweb
could do this kind of things. (OSC communication with pd)
