What Is an Acer Orbicam?
In 2008, Acer ranked number 3 overall for worldwide PC sales. Part of the reason for their success is innovative features such as the Orbicam, which reduces many of the constraints of a regular webcam. Identification Acer’s Orbicam is a Web-conferencing device built into select Acer notebooks which can transmit video, and voice with the bluetooth Voice over IP (VoIP) phone that comes bundled with it. Features The 1.3 megapixel Orbicam can rotate up to 225 degrees, allowing users to capture video in the front and back of the notebook. Acer VisageON and PrimaLite technology track facial movements and automatically change to optimal brightness settings. Benefits Unlike a traditional webcam, the Orbicam allows a person to move around during presentations in a Web-conference without needing to constantly shift the laptop. Tips The bluetooth microphone charges through the laptop’s PC card slot and works with the most popular VoIP services, such as Skype and Yahoo! Messenger. Warning Acer war
