Using the Acer OrbiCam as Webcam

The Acer OrbiCam is automatically selected as the capture device of any instant messenger (IM)
application. To use the Acer OrbiCam as a webcam, open the IM service, then select the video/
webcam feature. You can now broadcast from your location to an IM partner anywhere in the
world.

Enabling the Acer VisageON

The Acer VisageON technology comes with two features: Face tracking and Video effects. The
Face Tracking feature tracks your head movement and automatically centers your face in the
capture window. The video effects feature allows you to select and apply an effect to your video
transmissions.

Note:

The face tracking feature is not capable of centering your face beyond the capture window

frame. Minimal head movements are tracked more efficiently.
