Enabling the Acer VisageON (for 1.3 megapixel camera models only)
The Acer VisageON technology comes with two features: Face tracking and Video effects (selected models
only). 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.
To enable the Acer VisageON:
1. Right click on this icon, then select VisageON from the pop-up menu.
