Playing peek-a-boo with Linus feels normal

[CarthagoMike]

For 200 USD, it seems pretty decent. The one positive of the pandemic is that we are finally getting half-decent webcams.

[ramprasath]

Linus playing Peek-A-Boo with a webcam is the cutest thing ever.

[GameCyborgCh]

"What is my purpose?"
"you keep me in frame"
"oh my god"

would be amazing if they had a thing that let's you mount a regular camera to it so that you're not stuck with webcam quality

[bryanwatson]

Linus just kicked off the AI revolution by making it mad when he played peek-a-boo with it. Thanks Linus. Now where did I place that EMP…

I love how Linus talks to the OBSBOT as it was a person.

[schmaul]

I actually build a similar thing during homeschooling with lego, wich obviously didn't work as smoothly, and also needed software running on my pc, but it worked, and it's great to see the same idea in a commercial product.

[ChocoMilkTea]

I never heard of OBSBOT, so I when I first read the title I thought: "OBS made a webcam!?" xD

[malgaras]

"I'll let you guys be the judge" is becoming code for "It's awful but they paid us", just like that with that arm laptop a couple weeks ago.

[geekdomo]

I reviewed this months ago. My wife as a teacher loved it during Covid teaching times. I think your review may get more views Linus.

I've actually known about this for a while now. I installed one in a conference room for a client a few months ago. Pretty cool little camera, and relatively cheap for what it is.

[BlissBatch]

That thing is adorable; the peek-a-boo game was so fitting.

[VigneshBalasubramaniam]

Linus: The power jack is probably for optical USB cables
Me: You're overthinking the hell out of this Linus, its most likely intended to supplement USB 2.0 ports, which don't provide as much power. Though optical is another (rarer) use case.

[spaceydadragon]

this reminds me of something we demoed at an elearning showcase back in 2015 to some teachers. the only difference is it tracked you usering an ir device around your neck and used your phone as a capture device. it was called swivl.

[Neoxon]

This is the first webcam I’ve seen with physical camera movement rather than software. Interesting. Also, I guess the power plug separate from the USB-C port is optional.

[SkeleMusic]

man the tracking on this camera is actually amazing. i wish the camera quality was just a smidge better, but it tracks really well.

[nanta]

I didn't even notice difference when lights were off, thats impressive not gonna lie

[RStarbuck]

I don't think it's this one, but we've been piloting using another smart camera like this at my workplace since there's a lot of people who move around in Zoom meetings and have been struggling with being remote and "stuck" in their chairs while remote. If you need to move at all - teaching, demoing, etc. - it's a really handy tool.

[Mr.FastZombie]

My university has cameras like this mounted in the ceiling of some of the newer lecture rooms. I imagine that they're older and much more expensive than this, but I've never had a class where those were used yet.
