WebEye VR webcam adds depth to your shallow Skype conversations

With the constant hype surrounding the idea of virtual reality, it was only inevitable before a company thought up the idea of creating a virtual reality webcam. Now, Slovenia-based VRFavs went ahead and did just that, recently unveiling its Kickstarter campaign for the WebEye VR.

The WebEye VR is a small, compact webcam that would look like any other webcam were it not for its two lenses. It uses these two lenses to produce a stereoscopic, 160° image that another person can receive through a VR headset, like the upcoming Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. The WebEye VR is capable of producing full HD quality video at 30 frames per second to ensure that the other person’s immersion isn’t compromised.
