OK, I plugged in a web cam device (something called a 'Zoomy' -- a web cam/microscope). It is recognized by the unc driver. Now what?

Does there exist a program that can use this device? Or do I have to write one from scratch? I have been searching the web, but all of the links are about getting and installing*drivers*. I don't need a driver, I need a userland program.

With Ubuntu 14.04, there is a program named Cheese, but I can't find a version that works with CentOS 5. And no, don't tell me to install Ubuntu 14.04!

upgrade to centos 6, cheese is in the base repository. its part of Gnome 2.22+ but C5 only has Gnome 2.16
