512 18. Building on the Basics, Some Projects in VR
We can put together a program to produce the chroma-key effect using a
webcam and an AVI movie. DirectShow provides all the software components
needed, and we’ve covered most of the other detail in Chapter 15 already. It is
simply a matter of building a suitable FilterGraph. If you have two webcams,
you can even do it in stereo. We will base most of our application on the code

1. A thread to run the parent window and the control panel dialog box.
2. A thread to run the camera
