- johndoe0815 4y agoRight, I remember watching the "stream" over our 64 kbps link at the university. But I think the IndyCam was the first one that was commercially available as a computer accessory, though not exactly affordable back then... still, my students today are amazed to learn that color video conferencing and 3D graphics were possibly almost 30 years ago on a machine that's much slower than an original Raspberry Pi.
