> I guess there’s a market for a fancy standalone webcam, but it cannot be huge. Most people don’t care, people who moderately care can use their smartphones with a bevy of tethering software, Hacky and annoying. Also it ties up a phone, and I'd have a phone mounted to the top of my monitor, which looks kind of stupid. Finally, what's the latency like? virtual meetings already have terrible latency, I don't want to get near anything that'll add more. Heck tons of models of BT headsets can add hundreds of ms of latency (!!), with moderately good ones adding only around 100 (ick). If the Opal can deliver low latency video and audio of a higher quality than other cheap webcams or laptop built-in cameras, and offer a good software experience, then it has a chance in the market. Of course people on this site can hack something better together, that new Raspberry Pi HQ camera module is nice, but it isn't going to dominate the consumer market.
