Kudos to ecamm for developping iglasses, a great tool that allows vloggers and online instructors adjust their built in iOS camera’s Field of View! Apple has overlooked it for too long, and ecamm now lets you zoom in to adjust your field of view (and several unnecessary video effects) with a simple app. I’ve tried it. It works, and it gives iOS users great flexibility when using their built-in isight cameras. Well done ecamm!
And here are a couple other options:
Altercam is a similar option for PC users that lets you add filters and zoom using your computer’s built-in camera. It includes color filters and a zoom feature, and works with other apps like Skype, Zoom, Facetime and more.
ProCam for Logitech Webcams let’s those with nearly any Logitech Webcam adjust their field of view, color temperature, and much more. Like the those listed above, it works with a variety of webcasting and recording tools–and I like this one best.
ecamm’s iGlasses gives you simple, practical video tools . . . and weird effects.

He has an MFA in Digital Cinema, a BSED in English and Theatre Education from the University of South Dakota, and a certificate in Online Education from UW Stout. Prior to joining Carleton's staff, he taught communication, theatre, and video production for approximately 15 years while working as a professional actor and director--appearing in over forty national and regional commercials and directing and editing dozens of videos and musicals.
Dann’s MFA thesis project involved writing and directing an original, full-length musical, filming the entire development and production process, and editing it into an educational DVD entitled How to Write and Produce Your Own High School Musical. His DVD is currently being distributed by Films Media Group.
His focus in education has been developing effective lessons, studying the psychological impact of directorial choices within films, and engaging in the relationships that make education most powerful. His most recent endeavor is as the developer of the Little Prompter, a small teleprompter designed to help instructors easily create video for online delivery.
Dann has also presented at various national and regional educational conferences and is glad to have joined Carleton in 2014.
