Presented herein is a video enhancer plug-in for a web browser that may either interface directly with the browser or indirectly as a plug-in for another more general multimedia browser plug-in. The video enhancer consists primarily of video enhanced scripts and a library of specialized routines. A script is intended to provide a visually interesting display within a web browser environment and calls upon routines in the library to do so. These routines, for example, may take live video input from a video camera and perform specific functions such as locating the head of an individual within the camera's field of view. Because the script runs within a web browser, it allows components of the system to be widely separated from one another, so long as they are connected across a wide area network such as the Internet. Consequently, another aspect of the invention is a computer-implemented system for playing a game, where a single player may utilize a script located on a remote server, or may play against other players who are either connected to the first player through the remote server or linked directly. Also included in the present invention is a method for video enhancement over a wide area network, and an article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium containing code segments for providing a video enhancer for a web browser.
