Webcam goes
wide
In this high definition
era, where hardware from consoles to monitors
and entertainment from games to films is
in HD, one area that’s been consistently
lagging behind has been the humble webcam.
Web cameras provide blurry images and one
just manages to imagine what the person
on the other side looks like. Even if you
do manage to see the person, the image is
quite grainy. Here’s when Microsoft
decided to bring in a difference. A difference
which the users are sure to love. A difference
with high definition.
Microsoft Hardware seems to have set a new
standard for webcams with its LifeCam Cinema,
a consumer webcam on the PC to offer widescreen
video with a native 720p sensor.. read

Toshiba’s
3D laptop uses webcam to track eyes, eliminates
glasses
A built-in webcam coupled
with eye-tracking software allows Toshiba’s
latest 3D laptop to create glasses-free
3D on the fly. Following the anti-glasses
backlash from involuntarily bespectacled
3D TV viewers everywhere, glasses-free TVs
are riding the angst and taking CES 2011
by storm. While most companies at the show
use the same parallax barrier technology,
which spits out a number of fixed 3D “zones”
around the TV, Toshiba has taken a different
tack with its latest 3D laptop, which actually
uses a webcam intelligently target the 3D
effect on the fly. We lent our eyes to see
how this seemingly novel concept works in
the real world. read

Live! Cam Voice, uses two microphones and
special software to minimize unwanted sounds
and echoes. read
