When Chatroulette Couldn’t Get Weirder – ManyCam

ManyCam is freeware that modifies your webcam video stream to give you augmented effects including adding a fiery trail to your movement, face-tracking masks and accessories, effects that are reminiscent of PhotoBooth, a distortion bar covering your eyes to remain somewhat anonymous, and the ability to draw on your video stream.

It’s augmented reality for your webcam stream.  Just in case you were already getting bored with Chatroulette.
