It is an application of Ubuntu Operating system / Linux for camera device, the main use of this is for a webcam specially in laptop computers. In the old distribution of this OS like 12.04 you just install this application then you can use your built in laptop webcam.
When I upgraded my OS from 12.04 32 bit to 14.04 64 bit this application was already included after successfully installed but It was not functioning. No device found appear on screen when I opened this application.
Since I'm still newbie for this thing, what I did was googling for a solution to addressed this issue and luckily, I found a forum exactly for this problem from this website

I just follow the instruction of Vatsal H. Gor (gorvatsal2191).
Below are the following.
1. Open up the Terminal application. (Ctrl+Alt+T)
2. Open your grub configuration file for editing as root:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
3. Change the line that reads:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi="
4. Save the file and exit the text editor. (Ctrl+O <Enter> then Ctrl+X)
5. Update grub:
sudo update-grub
6. Restart/Reboot your computer.
