I wonder how hard it would be to have a camera 'pop up' from the laptop. (i'm not a hardware guy)

- eastbound 1y agoSome laptops literally have the camera behind the screen. As in, behind pixels. It’s possible and classy.
- bobthepanda 1y agodo you have a picture of what that looks like? having a hard time conceptualizing that.
- Tuna-Fish 1y agoIt's not visible at all. The camera is just placed behind the screen. OLED screens are inherently transparent, there is just a light-emitting layer in them. You put your camera behind the screen, and either make the few pixels on top of the lens go black when it's on, or you use a lot of software to remove the light that comes from the screen and clean up the picture.
- Lammy 1y agoMy REDMAGIC Android phone is like this too and I love not having a stupid notch cut out of the screen. I've hated them since the very first time I saw a iPhone X. Can't believe such a ridiculous design defect infected Macbooks too :/
- XorNot 1y agoMy Oppo Reno 2z phone does this and honestly its been working great for years. I really like not having a notch. Feels like for a laptop it would be durable enough and also fulfill the "webcam is physically blocked when off".
