Web Cam Laser Pointer Coordinates VB.net

This project is to make code that returns the pixel coordinate of a laser point in the view of a web camera. To do this project you will probably need to have a web cam and a red laser pointer. I have found some examples of code that might be possible to combine to make one working program. The first program is an app that displays what a web cam sees.

Here is one I found in C# [login to view URL] My use for this is to measure distance, a range finder. Since the laser point will always be within a narrow band of pixels, it would be nice to only search for the laser point in that band if it will improve performance.
