Dell's new webcam concept Pari hands-on

Holy crap, this is *exactly* what I've been feeling was needed, as you're always looking away from the people you're talking to when looking at their image on screen, or not looking at them when you're looking at the camera in what appears more natural to them. I've long envisioned a computer having the webcam embedded in a better position, but this takes it even better, allowing for flexibility depending on what you're doing. I'd so get this if it were to be made.

Such a weird but neat idea. I can't imagine many monitors working with this. Software that adjusts your gaze really feels like that'll be the play in future

Year went by so quickly I forgot CES is just around the corner. I love this one! Looks really cool.

CONTENT IDEA: Putting together a WFH series - would love to see value picks for webcams and other tech that are great for home offices

[RealTechnoPanda]

Really neat idea. I am glad Dell is thinking outside the box!

[JigokuHebi]

The idea with the stand is amazing
I would love it if it also had a ring light around it. Then it would be probably perfect

[nairrahul]

This should also have a ring light on it. Would be perfect for low light situations!

[RT-yhpi]

If I could pre order one I definitely would. Perfect product idea!

its great for online classes for teachers

[KwaddyK]

Well done to the product team who thought of this!! this is what happens when you take time to understand the customer!!

Thats good! I always wonder why laptop manufacturers still don't use camera modules from current smartphones. They are small enough to fit into a narrow bezel and are capable of high resolution capture.

[ehabyoussef]

Definitely a neat idea. I haven't seen anything like this interesting since Steve Jobs came up with the iPod. I like the little light that tells you the angle is right. Clever.

Game changing idea. Genuine innovation

[orcckaa]

There has not been that many innovation in the webcam department until this. Eager to see how things go from here.

[fizzul]

Yes, we need a webcam same eye level with the person we are talking too virtually.

[ucevrim]

i dont always see simple gadget innovations that blows my mind. But this one did.

1:36 -- this would be so helpful for lecturers, tutors, and other educators of any sort, in teaching material to students, wow

Ok Dell, now implement this idea on your Canvas TOTEM, plus also add space, alt, ctrl buttons and tool selecting option. You'll have yourself a very useful creator tool that actually has potential replacing keyboards and increasing your workflow in touch and pen input scenarios. It would be mandatory addition to any pen or touch device.

I'm sold. The idea of wireless webcam should have been realized long ago but Dell idea's is solid. I especially like the kick stand for showing your writing.
