Hi Alastair, It appears that you are inquiring how to turn any given application into having the capability of being it's own virtual camera. All the stand-alone virtual camera applications which George mentioned rely on a specialized QuickTime component, so it's likely that's what would need to be developed and then integrated directly into each app in question in order for those apps to appear as cam sources to broadcast hosts such as Ustream. It would be for others to say whether or not that's do-able. I'm guessing however that the stand-alone virtual cams are probably the most reasonable recourse.
