Creating a Virtual (Webcam) Device

Hi!

I am looking for a solution to create a "virtual" webcam device under
OS X (that acts just as a normal hardware webcam, but the application
has full control over what to output). I'm fairly experienced with
C++, but not so much with Objective-C and OSX/Cocoa programming.

I have looked into "Image Capture Device Module Reference", but this
seems a bit outdated (or even deprecated?), and I'm not sure if it
really has any relevance to what I want to do. I also looked into I/O
Kit and kext, but I can't find information how to actually "add" a
virtual/fake device.

Anyone that can point me in the right direction, where to look and
what I should be looking for? I've searched via google, but most of
the results seems to focus on Windows and DirectX. (I've also posted a
question on stackoverflow,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2538573/creating-a-virtual-webcam-device-for-os-x
, sadly without any answers.)

Thankful for any help at all! :)
