LOGITECH ON THE WEB . . . GETTING CLOSER
With more than four million sold this year, Logitech’s QuickCam®
PC video cameras are bringing consumers closer to family and
friends as they extend the information interface beyond the
desktop and enable visual communication via the Internet.
The addition of powerful Internet-enabled applications such as
video mail, video chat and especially the SpotLife™ personal
broadcasting service, is gradually making these cameras
a “must have.” In proof of the growing popularity
of PC video, SpotLife registered more than one million
personal broadcasters in the space of just one year—
ordinary consumers who have discovered the fun of sharing
every thing from life in a college dorm to an online wedding.
The QuickCam® Traveler ™, which joined the growing Logitech
QuickCam family this past year, has brought a new dimension
to the video experience. This new category combines easy Web
communication with the freedom of a digital still camera. When
detached from the PC, QuickCam Traveler can store up to 60 high-
resolution or 200 low-resolution images, while in attached mode,
it becomes a high-quality VGA camera, complete with a built-in
microphone and additional software applications for realistic
communication that includes sound, music and special effects.
In addition, to ensure that consumers continue add to the
enjoyment of their video experience, Logitech introduced a toolkit
for developers wishing to integrate QuickCam video capability
into their applications. With the Software Developers’ Kit, it is
easy to program multiple applications to use a QuickCam at
the same time or allow one application to have several video
windows open at once.
“I use your QuickCam to keep in touch with family in
South Carolina, North Carolina, Indiana and Illinois . . .
This coming December will mark the arrival of a
new great grandchild in my family and we will
then have four generations connected because
of your QuickCam. Thanks for providing such
a great product!” — Ruth
