Webcam MD: Webcamera Medical Technology for Patients

By admin | November 29, 2007

Webcamera Medicine
I think this is a great idea.  Now people can get examinations and diagnosis from their homes.  I wonder if there will be a virtual waiting room? ;)

This should be great service for remote locations as well as those late night emergencies!

Webcam MD - Launch of revolutionary web-based medical technology

TORONTO, Nov. 14 /CNW/ - Wednesday November 14, 2007 will see the launch
of Webcam MD, an innovative web based medical technology site developed by
Toronto’s New Media Entrepreneur, Rob Tayler. The site will enable patients to
have a live, visual, medical examination with a licensed physician over the
Internet. Tayler emphasizes the benefit of this technology especially for
people who have trouble visiting a medical clinic in person because of
mobility issues, a lack of transportation, or a lack of medical facilities in
the area. “This is a significant improvement on the static, self-diagnosing
websites so prevalent on the Internet today,” says Tayler.

WooMe: Dating with a Webcamera

By admin | November 29, 2007

Speed Dating with a Webcamera
Yet another way to use the webcamera to meet new people.

I think this is a great idea but I’m not in the dating field any longer. :)

If anyone has tired this service let me know what you think.

Shiny Shiny: WooMe: Speed dating the webcam way

Now, I’ve tried out my fair share of Internet dating, and usually the problems I encountered were the same as those my dates no doubt found: he / she looks fine on paper, and even in photos, but in person there is zero chemistry. WooMe aims to solve that problem by combining the benefits of speed dating - a minute to talk to someone and get that gut feeling about them before you bother meeting - with the convenience of the Internet. I wonder if the Skype-like design is intentional…

You get one minute to exchange pleasantries over webcam, and then you can choose between politely rejecting the hopeful or confirming that the wooing process has begun and moving on.

(CNET.com) — The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 is nearly identical to the QuickCam Pro for Notebooks Webcam, except for the fact that it’s a better fit for laptops. This $99 desktop Webcam is larger than its laptop sibling, but its flexible, two-hinged stand works equally well resting directly on your desk or atop your desktop’s LCD or your laptop’s screen.

As was the case with the laptop Webcams I reviewed last month, the QuickCam Pro 9000 delivers better image quality than competing desktop Webcams from Creative and Microsoft. Logitech’s RightLight technology provides a well-balanced, vibrant, and clear image — even in low light.

While Creative’s Live Cam software has more features, unless motion capture surveillance or time-lapse Webcam photography interest you, you’re better off with the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. With its easy-to-use software, stellar image quality, and sturdy, flexible stand, it earns our Editors’ Choice award.

$17 Plush Webcam on Gizmodo

By admin | November 28, 2007

Plush Webcam
I just found this on gizmodo.  I would imagine the video quality won’t be that good but might make a nice “nanny cam” or something else … ;)

Anyone had a chance to try one of these?  Reminds me of the early days of video conferencing on dial-up lines.

Fyi: A Plush Webcam is Not a Tush Webcam

A Plush Webcam is Not a Tush Webcam

305.jpgHere’s a cute 1.3MP webcam that will only run you $16.99. We just don’t recommend it for the purpose we both know you are already planning:

“Oohh, you’re so sweet. This little chipmunk thing is the cutest!”
“Sure, happy one month anniversary.”

“I can’t wait to snuggle with him at night.”
“Oh, about that. Just make sure you have him plugged in to you computer at all times.”

Web Camera Birth - Couple share baby’s birth 7600 miles apart

By admin | September 17, 2007

 Finally someone is thinking and using technology  to make up for distance!  All hospitals should offer this to their patience not only the ones giving birth.  They might find out it helps people to recover quicker when then have someone they can talk with.

“The little girl’s birth at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital was broadcast live via the Web last Thursday so her father, deployed Master Sgt. Michael Carter, could participate in his daughter’s birth from his post in Iraq.”

“Jodi Carter, 27, had the idea to do a Webcast of the delivery after using a Web camera to keep Michael, 42, in touch …”

Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for NotebooksSarahM at Notebook Review has done a nice job on reviewing the Logitech QuickCam Deluxe. Here is the summary:

“Logitech’s QuickCam Deluxe was a good camera for video chatting and it was pretty easy to use besides a few minor problems. Although the quality of the still images could have been better, it would be worth $60 if you’re in need of a reliable web camera.
