Aloha!

I am currently working on an independent robotics project. The goal is to make a robot that uses two Apple iSight's connected to Macbook, the macbook will use the cameras to take a stereo image. It will update 3d map of where it is, and choose a drive path (the 3d map and drive path is done by another software). Now it gets really crazy, and there is a lot of work to be done. But I was thinking of using Labview to connect to this apple iSight and to take a snap shot. Is there any sort of driver or pre-made plugin for Labview that allows it to use a webcam that is connected to the computer? Also, does it require a video processing plugin? Can I apply video filters, or have it combine images into a stereo image? Is there a better software to use? (I know about OpenCV, and that is an option, but I want to use Labview)

Thanks!
