The software has to be pretty sophisticated AND the camera has to be very high resolution, both, for this to work. Delicious Library gets a webcam to scan barcodes, but it's an expensive one. I don't know what all they had to do to get the softwqare end to work, but I think it involves patented stuff.
I recently ran across this article explaining what the problems are with that very attractive idea:
