One of the early articles that appeared on Operation Gadget was Logitech QuickCam Orbit: Cool New Webcam that May Not Make It in Time for the Holidays. Well, I checked Amazon.com this morning, and the QuickCam Orbit is now available. So, if you’re interested, you could probably order it and receive it in time for the holidays.
As I said in the previous article, the interesting feature of this webcam is that it uses face-tracking technology to keep you in the camera’s field of view as you move around your desk. This means that the camera moves and focuses by itself. Time Magazine put likened the movement to that of a Jim Henson character, so it’s motion must seem a little idiosyncratic when you’re sitting nearby it.
