MECA 3-in-1 webcam addresses the biggest pains in video meetings

Posted on by

Video meetings, virtual conferences, and online classes have become pretty normal these days, even as the world tries to return to its usual patterns. But while apps and programs have been upgraded to adapt to these new standards of remote communication, hardware has inched very little over the past two years. Camera and microphone quality have improved, of course, but everything else seems to have remained the same. In the rush to prepare for work from home settings, many people have resigned themselves to webcams that came with their laptops or cheap accessories they could easily get their hands on. Many of these could be considered passable or even decent, but this multi-functional webcam goes the extra mile to solve one of the biggest problems with video chats: making eye contact.

When the first webcams were designed, their purpose was significantly simpler than what we need today. It didn’t matter much which part of your face other people were seeing, mostly because video chats and meetings were uncommon until recently. But with these meetings becoming more regular and “Zoom fatigue” becoming a thing, people have realized the psychological impacts of seeing people without actually being near them. And in particular, they have realized how eye contact is just as important in conveying respect and confidence in a virtual chat as it is in face-to-face meetings.

Unfortunately, not all webcams are actually designed to put your eyes front and center, which is where MECA comes in. Right off the bat, this accessory that you can clip on top of any monitor is an all-in-one solution to video conferencing so that you won’t need anything else other than your computer. Although it’s formally called a webcam, it also has a built-in mic to handle your voice, as well as an adjustable lamp light to put yourself in the best light.

You can select the brightness or warmth of the light using a single button on the left side of the main body. The right side has a button for turning the mic on or off, and it comes with an indicator to show which state it’s in. MECA is actually very privacy-friendly in this way, offering clear cues when particular hardware is in use. The camera, for example, also has a small light when it’s actively recording, reminding users when they need to turn off the camera later on.

MECA’s real pull, however, is how the camera isn’t actually part of the webcam’s clip-on base. You can pull it down so that it is level with your eyes so that you won’t have to adjust your face just to make it look like you’re staring straight at other participants in the call. The camera has a non-slip pad on its back to make sure it doesn’t slide on your monitor, but to be doubly sure that it stays put, MECA comes with double-sided tapes you can use to stick it to your screen. These tapes are also guaranteed not to leave any residue or damage the screen when you take them off. For laptop users, there’s a magnetic attachment you place behind the screen to keep the camera in place without using adhesives.

MECA’s simple design makes it easy to carry around and clip onto any kind of screen, including curved monitors. A Full HD camera, three light temperatures, and easy-to-use controls help to make you look and sound good, reducing the stress of these meetings. For just $119, you’re not only getting a complete video conferencing solution in a single package; you’re also getting the confidence boost you need to look sharp and professional in any meeting.

This tiny Belkin accessory allows iPhone to be used as webcam for your MacBook

Posted on by

Still, stuck to the 720p webcam on the MacBook? Well, it’s time you move on whether Apple has an intention to or not. I say this, but in the hindsight, I know, Apple is working on the idea of a Continuity Camera to accompany the macOS Ventura and iOS 16. It is a feature that will actually unify the Apple ecosystem we talk so much about how it effectively allows Apple’s different devices to work together seamlessly. It’s a feature that will let the MacBook connect to an iPhone which can be used as its webcam.

While we are at it, Belkin is working on a new puck that is MagSafe compatible. It attaches to the back of the iPhone and using its support can cling on to the Mac (where the webcam is) to let the iPhone’s rear camera be used as a full-fledged webcam.

Designer: Belkin

Belkin’s Continuity Camera accessory sounds like a fantastic idea, one that Apple enthusiasts in you would be gearing to try! Sadly, the accessory is not yet released. Some YouTubers and bloggers have managed to go hands-on with the prototype, giving us a fair idea of what to expect from the MagSafe-compatible Continuity Camera when it arrives.

From how it appears, the Belkin device – in the making – is an all-white circular peripheral that attaches to the iPhone’s back with MagSafe. I’m not sure of the material it’s made from but presume it will be soft silicone so it leaves no scratches on the back of the Mac when it’s mounted. When attached to the Mac at the ideal spot where the webcam features, the Continuity Camera automatically activates to allow the iPhone to be used as the webcam.

The fun really begins here. The iPhone webcam can then be set to features like the Center Stage or Portrait mode, which means you not only get into zoom calls and FaceTime chats at a better resolution but can also make the call more interesting. Even more compelling is the Desk View that users can activate to let the iPhone webcam use the ultra-wide lens to even accommodate your work desk in the video; highly useful for product reviewers making unboxing videos.

As I said, this is only a prototype that has shown up, so the final accessory could be different from the slightly delicate one we see. But for the fact that it can also prop up as a kickstand for the iPhone, we are expecting a resourceful tool. From how things are panned, the Continuity Camera accessory will be launched in a couple of months alongside the macOS Ventura and iOS 16.

This minimalist webcam turns any table into a shareable surface

Posted on by

The pandemic has made video conferences and online classes the norm to the point that “Zoom fatigue” has become a real psychological problem for many people of all ages. Despite the frequency of these virtual meetings, however, many of us still come unprepared for many things, especially those that involve things that are written or printed on paper or physical media. Whether it’s a sketch of an idea or a live demonstration of solving a math problem, most of our computer equipment and accessories today are not equipped to handle things that don’t exist inside our computers or phones. One doesn’t need a complicated and sophisticated piece of technology to solve that problem, as this simple yet effective webcam concept demonstrates.

Designer: Alex D’Souza

We can always type out notes or even make diagrams on our computers, but that doesn’t always work for every scenario. If you’re teaching students or demonstrating what you’ve learned in class, you often have to scribble down something live. There might also be times when you need to show notes, pictures, or other things that haven’t been digitized yet. The latter usually involves awkwardly placing your notebook or photo in front of a high webcam, while the former sometimes requires jerry-rigging a contraption that holds a camera or a phone up high.

Viu offers a simpler solution that utilizes smart design principles with a bit of computer vision and computational magic. In a nutshell, it is a webcam on a small stand whose lens faces down at an angle and sees anything that you place down on a flat surface in front of it. Algorithms straighten out the images so that they appear as if they’re taken from a camera that’s facing straight down from a high level. We’ve seen this kind of “document straightening” in many smartphone camera apps, so it’s really a wonder why no one has thought of it yet, much less commercialized the concept.

This webcam concept design also offers something that goes beyond its technical merits. In terms of design, Viu is petite and delectably minimalist so that it fits in almost any kind of desk theme or decor. It’s easy to operate, with only two buttons for power and taking a still photo of a live video feed, and is small enough to fit in any nook or cranny. Its clean form doesn’t visually distract you from the task at hand, but a transparent version also exists to add a bit of flavor to your desk, if that is your thing.

Viu’s simplicity extends to how it’s constructed and arranged inside, with only two circuit boards covered by two outer pieces. Because it’s simple to manufacture and assemble, the webcam reduces unnecessary components, manufacturing steps, and costs. Despite and because of that minimalist aesthetic, the webcam can almost act like a decorative piece on your desk when not in use.

Like a lamp or robot that’s facing down, Viu’s design is simple yet distinctive, with an almost playful element to it. A neutral CMF and a small footprint make it ideal for any desk, whether busy or clean, fulfilling a need that hasn’t been sufficiently addressed in the months and years after Zooms and Google Meets have become a part of many people’s lives and work.

Jabra’s triple-lens webcam has a wide-angle 180° FOV, completely crushing Apple’s Center Stage

Posted on by

What’s better than one good webcam? Three of them… and with 4K resolution, no less.

With the ability to fit an entire boardroom into its FoV, the Jabra PanaCast uses 3 individual lenses to capture more in the same small webcam form factor. Quite literally upstaging Apple’s Center Stage, the PanaCast has a dizzying 180° field of view, capturing what Jabra calls ‘three whiteboards’ worth of content, digitally. Equipped with Jabra’s Intelligent Zoom feature, the PanaCast can also detect faces and expand its bounding box to fit multiple people into its frame. The 4K lenses do a phenomenally better job at capturing board meetings in vivid detail (along with the whiteboards behind them), bringing enterprise video conferencing to the next level.

While the Center Stage is more of a feature for Apple’s customers, the PanaCast is an entire product and solution marketed toward businesses. Companies are still operating online for the most part, with employees working from home, personnel scattered across countries and time zones, and clients too. That’s where the Panacast comes in, allowing people to effectively communicate with each other without being ‘talking heads’. People in the same building can convene at the same meeting table, with the PanaCast capturing the entire FoV.

The PanaCast additionally works with leading conferencing software, including Skype, Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, Slack, and even the obscure Hangouts (among many others). Additionally, the Jabra Vision app lets you set up and adjust your PanaCast, and even toggle individual lenses within the 3-lens setup, focusing on any part of the room.

Revi is a fabric-covered pebble that is a webcam and smart speaker in one

Posted on by

Work from home arrangements has webcams a necessity in many homes. Almost all laptops today come with one, but not all of them are up to snuff with people’s needs, especially for those who only have desktop computers with no webcams. That had made this class of accessories popular again, like back in the days when webcams were like rare Pokemon. This, of course, has also opened the doors to rethinking webcams, like this concept that tries to make it do something useful when you’re done using it as a webcam.

Designer: Pelin Özbalcı

Almost all laptops and monitors with embedded webcams only deliver the basics in terms of functions and quality. There isn’t that much space to cram in more advanced hardware, and those that need higher-quality videos can always purchase a standalone webcam. Those, however, can sometimes be clunky and cumbersome to use, especially when trying to attach them to a screen.

Revi tries to reimagine this device category by turning the webcam into a portable smart speaker as well. Or rather, Revi is a pebble-shaped smart speaker that has a hidden webcam. In a world where both kinds of devices are in high demand, having both functions in a single device definitely helps reduce the number of things you have to juggle. Plus, it also looks cool when your Bluetooth speaker suddenly transforms into a webcam or vice-versa.

The front of the Revi is covered with the typical fabric used for smart speakers, but the mottled appearance makes it look more like a pumice stone from a distance. This is its “dormant” mode, where it functions as a speaker you can place near your desk. When it’s suddenly time to make a video call, you can simply swivel its back to reveal the webcam hiding beneath.

The gap between these two halves of the device creates a crevice where the edge of a laptop screen or a thin monitor can slot into, letting the webcam rest naturally on the top edge with no need for clips or adhesives. When used with a laptop, the camera’s height creates a more natural angle that frames your face better than built-in webcams. The Revi can continue acting as a speaker and mic for your laptop, even during a video call.

Revi is also envisioned to be a smart speaker, where AI not only provides additional functionality but also performs noise cancellation. The device is even smart enough to know when you’re receiving a call or about to go on a meeting and pauses the music, allowing you to conveniently place the webcam on your screen without breaking a sweat. Given its design, it’s probably possible to use the Revi as a handheld or standalone camera, which also removes the need to buy an external camera for doing live streams away from your desk.

This all-in-one broadcast device is the wire-free mess content creators need

Posted on by

Industrial designer DPP Da’Peng conceptualized an all-in-one broadcast device for content creators to have a one-stop shop for quality production.

With content creation becoming one of the most sought-after fields to work in these days, broadcast equipment is getting some major buzz. Whether you have a podcast or are an aspiring influencer, access to quality broadcast equipment is the first step towards making it viral.

Designer: DPP Da’Peng

Depending on the type of content you create, the necessary equipment will vary, which means content creators typically own all kinds of different equipment. Keeping that many wires and devices in one space can get messy.

Decluttering the experience of content creation, industrial designer DPP Da’Peng conceptualized an All-in-One Live Broadcast device that takes care of every aspect of content creation in one go.

In designing their All-in-One device, DPP Da’Peng hoped to solve the issue of passive wheat dissipation present in broadcast equipment currently on the market. Finding an issue with the size of current heat sinks, Da’Peng notes,

“Due to the limitation of volume and microphone recognition sound, a large area of [the] metal aluminum heat sink is required to assist the machine to dissipate heat and work normally. So balancing heat sinks and design criteria is the primary issue.”

In finding the equipment’s final form, DPP Da’Peng conceptualized their all-in-one broadcast device in two different iterations. In its first version, Da’Peng visualizes the device supported by a tripod. Propped upright, the multi-functional camera is envisioned in a cubic form with an integrated heat sink sandwiched between the camera’s lens and body.

The second iteration, also situated atop a tripod, appears more like a compact projector. Unlike the first rendering, Da’Peng’s second camera’s lens module is oval-shaped while the body takes on a rectangular silhouette.

Both cameras feature intuitive record buttons and the lens rotates 90-degrees to switch between landscape and portrait modes. In addition, the heat sinks of both iterations are kept to a minimum and a wireless design takes care of the mess that comes with current broadcast devices on the market. The tripod is also optional, so when creators want to use the cameras like they would a webcam, both devices can easily mount computer screens.

Both iterations of Da’Peng’s broadcast device feature rotating lenses. 

The first iteration’s heat sink is wedged right between the lens and the camera’s body. 

The lens rotates 90-degrees to offer landscape and portrait capture modes.

Razer Kiyo Pro HD Webcam – The perfect webcam for streaming, content creation, and WFH

Posted on by



Although Razer is more well-known within the gaming circuit for its incredible gaming peripherals, the company has been quick to notice the booming streaming industry that’s branched off from the gaming industry. While Razer clearly designed the Kiyo Pro to cater to the audience that loves to stream as they game, they inadvertently ended up making a 1080p webcam that’s so good, it even rivals most 4K webcams, making it a perfect work-horse for practically any sort of use – whether it’s streaming, filming, or even the humble office video chat.

The USB-C-powered 1080p camera mounts on top of monitors and screens, although it can be attached to a tripod or used as a standalone camera too, making it easy to use practically in a number of different ways. Where the Kiyo Pro does shine, however, is in its performance, which pushes the limits of what a webcam is capable of. It shoots 1080p at 60fps, outperforming your laptop’s crummy webcam or even the 20 buck webcam you buy online, and can capture in HDR too, resulting in a video that’s crisp, high-contrast, well-lit, and color-balanced no matter what setting you use it in.

Razer’s dalliance with smartphones seems to have paid off since it almost directly contributes to the Kiyo Pro’s abilities. The webcam comes outfitted with a larger-than-usual 1/2.8 ultra-sensitive CMOS sensor that captures more light and is capable of detecting how light or dark your setting is and automatically adjusting its video settings in real-time. This, along with the webcam’s ability to shoot HDR, sets it apart, allowing it to reliably capture whatever is in front of it, whether it’s the face of a gamer streaming from a dimly lit room with crummy RGB lighting, or someone sitting in a bright office space with a window right behind them. The Kiyo Pro sports a pixel size of 2.9μm (larger than the average 4K camera), allowing it to capture much more light information and automatically enhance your video if you’re working in low light conditions. The HDR setting accounts for the inverse, preventing overexposure that causes brightly lit parts of your video to appear as pure white blobs (like the window behind you, or parts of your face when a bright light shines at it).

Razer Kiyo Pro HD Webcam

The Kiyo Pro webcam also comes with a wide-angle lens and an adjustable FOV, giving you the freedom to decide whether you want the camera to focus just on your face, or capture a wider view to show everyone the rest of your room/studio. It’s pretty clear that Razer designed the Kiyo Pro from the ground up, focusing on creating a webcam that works just as well for gamers and content creators as it does for office-goers. The webcam can be configured within the Razer Synapse software, allowing you to adjust the FOV (with three settings – 103°, 90°, and 80°), toggle AutoFocus, tinker with brightness/contrast/saturation, and even switch on/off the HDR feature. It’s worth noting that with the HDR on, the Kiyo Pro’s video output drops from 1080p@60fps to 1080p@30fps.

A magnetically-attaching privacy guard lets you proactively cut the webcam’s video feed, giving you control over what the Kiyo Pro sees.

In designing a webcam that’s great for streamers, Razer ended up making a pretty versatile webcam that ranks pretty highly in all categories. With its 1080p@60fps output, it’s perfect for streamers, YouTubers, and content creators, allowing you to pull uncompressed video footage that’s also incredibly well-lit, thanks to the massive sensor and Razer’s STARVIS technology that ensures brilliant performance in even low-light settings. However, for more average endeavors like video chats, meetings, and Zoom calls, the Kiyo Pro’s ability to adjust based on lighting and environment, and its HDR feature make it a webcam that’s about as good as the camera on your phone at presenting a balanced video feed that doesn’t look blown out or overexposed.

While the Razer Kiyo Pro can’t be classified within the ‘budget webcam’ category, it clearly isn’t designed to be a budget webcam. With all that’s sitting under the hood (along with the software abilities), the Kiyo Pro is clearly for professionals who are demanding when it comes to being in front of a camera. Whether you’re someone who conducts online meetings, interview, or even seminars, or a streaming enthusiast who livestreams games, or even a budding YouTuber who wants to look good on camera without spending a couple of grands on high-end recording equipment, the Razer Kiyo Pro is the most versatile and capable work-horse of a webcam you can lay your hands on.

The Nikon Coolpix 100 just got reimagined as a modern teleconferencing device and it’s honestly quite impressive

Posted on by

Nobody uses point-and-shoot cameras anymore… but everyone needs better webcams.

It took Apple till the year 2021 to realize that laptops need better webcams (a sudden push towards WFH culture definitely helped), and even though we’ve all got pretty great video cameras in our pockets, our smartphones are capable of so much more that it seems quite reductionist to use them as just ‘webcams’ during video calls… that’s where this Nikon concept steps in.

Smartphones practically killed the point-and-shoot camera industry, although there now seems to be a perfect niche for them to thrive – teleconferencing. The Nikon Coolpix 100 remake by Soyeon Lee and PDF Haus turns the consumer-grade camera into a nifty little webcam that’s perfect for video-calls. Originally designed to be a webcam specifically for home-fitness (virtual exercising, yoga, training), the idea of having point-and-shoots transition into webcams seems perfect for a whole bunch of reasons.

The Nikon Coolpix 100 remake is the perfect portable camera for a highly specific purpose. Laptop webcams are pathetic, smartphone cameras are for selfies, tablets are hard to prop up or maneuver, Polaroids are for hipsters, DSLRs are for professionals, and smart home cameras are mainly for surveillance… but the Coolpix 100 is perfect for just video conferencing. It comes with a pretty large lens and sensor that’s perfect for crisp, clear imaging, along with a swivel screen that’s ideal for alternating between landscape and portrait modes (plus it has a distinct Nokia N-Series vibe).

Designed to be just a really good camera, the Nikon Coolpix 100 remake is the perfect size and shape for its job. It’s slim enough for you to be able to carry it around with you, yet thick enough that it can be propped up on its edge and made to stand. The camera comes with laser autofocus as well as a flash for good measure, and is thick enough to house a battery that doesn’t constantly need to be charged every few hours. However, to charge it, the Coolpix 100 comes with its own docking station that connects to the camera via a USB-C port, located both on the bottom as well as the side of the camera, so you can prop it up any way you want.

The docking station, however, does more than just charge the camera. It even comes outfitted with a rotating turntable, allowing the camera to effectively track objects and follow them (just like the new webcams on the MacBook and iPad, but by physically panning the camera). The rear end of the docking station also holds space for remote triggers, really showing how the popular point-and-shoot camera can be easily optimized for a modern scenario, fulfilling the role of a dedicated webcam for easily teleconferencing from home. View the design project in its entirety on Behance here.

The Eyecam: A Webcam That Looks Like a Moving, Blinking Human Eyeball

Posted on by

Because it was inevitable we reach the pinnacle of human achievement at some point, researcher Marc Teyssier has developed the Eyecam, a webcam that resembles a moving, blinking human eyeball. One thing’s for certain: it’s going to be nearly impossible to look away from the camera during Zoom meetings now.

Developed at Saarland University’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab, the Eyecam was designed to make us “speculate on the past, present, and future of technology.” And, I think I speak for everyone when I say if this is the future of technology, maybe 2020 wasn’t as bad as we’re all making it out to be.

The Eyecam uses six servos to replicate the human eye muscles, and the autonomous eye can move both laterally and vertically, with the eyelids closing (and webcam briefly going dark as a result) and eyebrow moving. Per Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” Truer words have never been spoken, particularly in the case of human eyeball webcams.

This webcam literally looks and behaves like a human eye… because tech surveillance wasn’t creepy enough

Posted on by




Remember when Sundar Pichai stepped on stage at Google I/O in 2018 and demonstrated how the virtual Google Assistant could make phone calls and have realistic conversations with people? It was a combination of scary and impressive, as Google’s voice AI literally spoke to a human, booking a haircare appointment at a salon. The virtual assistant’s manner of speaking was so incredibly natural, it could fool anyone into thinking it was a real human. The assistant’s voice had a natural speaking quality to it, with mannerisms, inflections, and even the occasional “ummm” and “ahhh” sounds to make it sound natural and human. The demo was a combination of incredibly impressive and incredibly scary, as it demonstrated how tech could easily cross over into human territory.

For people who still don’t feel tech is dystopian enough, here’s the Eyecam… a webcam that creepily stares right into your soul. In a world where tech spies on you (sometimes blatantly), the Eyecam adds a layer of realism to it. Designed by researcher Marc Teyssier, the Eyecam is more of a social project that aims at turning the humble camera into something more relatable – for better or for worse. The resulting device is eerily similar to an eye. Sure, it comes covered with faux flesh and has eyebrows and eyelashes, but the Eyecam doesn’t just look like an eye. It behaves like one too. The eyeball can independently pivot inside the eye socket, looking around the room. A facial-recognition software runs in the background, allowing the Eyecam to detect humans and look them directly in the eye. If that wasn’t creepy enough, the eyeball even has a tendency to move and jitter around like a human eye. It doesn’t stay absolutely still… instead, it looks and scans you, parts of your face, and intermittently shifts its gaze between your left and right eye. Oh, and it blinks too, feeling so real that your mind’s bound to feel extremely conscious of the camera’s gaze.

The Eyecam is more of an experiment than a real product. It aims at understanding, decoding, and tweaking the human-tech relationship. The camera behaves quite like a human eye would. Looking around the room before it spots you and stares directly into your eyes like another human. When the camera is resting, the eyelid shuts too, allowing you to feel a little more at ease around it. Obviously, when it wakes up and looks right at you, it feels slightly unnerving at first. I’m not sure how one would feel after months of using and getting used to the Eyecam… in fact, I’m not sure I even want to know, although it’s definitely something Teyssier is studying. Does the human tech relationship drastically change when the tech takes on a more human avatar? We’re comfortable with smartphone front-facing cameras casually pointing at us when we’re staring at our screens. What happens when that camera adopts a human appearance? How would our behaviors change if the surveillance around us felt that much more tangible?

If Black Mirror-esque dystopia excites you, you can actually build your own Eyecam from scratch. Marc’s been kind enough to document his entire process in great detail, and has even made hardware and software files available on Github. Just promise you won’t scare anyone to death! Remember, Big Brother’s always watching!

Designer: Marc Teyssier

The Eyecam comes built to scale, with remarkably human-like proportions and even details like skin-folds, wrinkles, and crow’s feet for that added realism.

The camera sits within an eyeball-shaped enclosure, which is rotated on multiple axes thanks to a series of motors and mechanisms that mimic the human eye’s randomized movement. *shudder*

Social experiment? Late April Fool’s Prank? Early Halloween experiment? You decide!
