Due to limitations with Processing / Java, the java.awt.robot class cannot export to applets successfully. This handy tool allows the cursor to always stay in the center of your application window, and provides a MUCH better experience with the camera. I added the WebCamera to allow interesting 3D apps written with kaleidoscope to export to the web. Keep in mind however that you have very little heap space and OPENGL doesn’t work on the web either. Both of these tend to be crucial to 3D applications of any sort.
