Virtual Camera. What is it? What does it do? How do you use it?

I have scoured the Internet and every ASUS site on every continent and... nothing.

All I have found is a very vague (too vague to be of any use) description.... and a screen grab (both of which pose more questions than they answer).

This utility must 'do' something, I just have no idea what.

Here is all I know... Any takers?

Judging by the pictures, and description, it sounds like it allows you to apply custom effects in the video conference window. Sort of like CyberLink YouCam. It adds an overlay on top of the video feed that makes the video feed like a whiteboard. In the picture you posted, you notice how the bottom left video shows a halloween theme around the girl's face? That's not something you can do without a tool like this or YouCam.

Overall, its not necessary for the use of your laptop, but if you use skype a lot with, say a long distance girlfriend, then it can be fun to maybe draw a mustache on her face, or give her black hair instead of blonde, etc. Could also draw a big heart on the screen for her, if you're the romantic type.
