Mirror webcam is actually a pretty good idea

How many webcam videos have you seen where the subject of the video is constantly looking down at his or her monitor to see how they look on camera? Millions? Skillions?

Well here’s a 1.3-megapixel webcam that might actually be able to solve that problem. It’s an $80 device with a mirrored face surrounded by LED lights. Behind the mirror is the actual camera itself, so you can finally look your video viewers in the eye. Nice. You gotta use an AC adapter though, which is not nice. Oh well. It’s probably for the LED lights and perhaps some of the mirror trickery. If you do a lot of webcam videos or video conferencing, though, this might just work out really well for you.

  • Well aren’t people looking at the screen to see the other person they’re talking to rather than to see themselves?

  • Forget the mirror-cam, where can i get that Doraemon!!!

    The mirror thing is actually kind of nice depending on how much you are into you and if you are planning on using it for a video-podcast, but don’t have any friends or money to hire someone to tell you how you are doing while holding the cam.

    Put your monitor above your webcam and use the preview window to save.

  • @johnny, this isn’t for live chat. this is for recording videos, like video messages or youtube stuff.
