Worst. Webcam. Ever.
If you’re thinking you want eye contact while on Zoom calls, this cam will make you reconsider. The Eyecam is shaped like the human eye. It can blink, look around and is always watching you. This God-forsaken horror show was conceived and executed by misguided eggheads at Germany’s Saarland University Human-Computer Interaction Lab. Their reasoning: “While webcams share the same purpose as the human eye —seeing—, they are not expressive, not conveying and transmitting affect as the human eyes do. Eyecam brings back the affective aspects of the eye in the camera.” Uh, no.
