Processing, multiple webcam feeds

Today i did a little research in the field of using multiple webcams simultaneously.
I discovered that there are a lot of driver issues when you try to connect multiple webcams to a single computer. Logitech seems to have a solid driver systems and thus allowing to use multiple webcams simeltaneous. Because i dont own that many logitech cams i experimented with 3 different webcams.

Through processing i was able to identify the three webcams as different streams. The beautiful thing about processing : it is an easy programming language. Within a matter of minutes i created a little application which combined these three streams into a larger image and outputting it in a sequence of tiff images. I see a lot of possibilities for an upcoming project.

To be continued.
