I’ve long envied friends like Adobe design director Matthew Richmond & principal scientist Marc Levoy who have the time, equipment, and energy to rig up high-end cameras for videoconferencing. Now Opal promises similar quality for the low (?) price of $299. Check out The Verge’s review, available in robo-spoken form here if you’d prefer:
They are planning to charge $4/month for their software??! I bet that idea won’t fly with consumers — I certainly would not pay a month fee for web camera software when there are lots of free options and things like Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatApp, Zoom, etc. all have built in enhancements for your webcam.
Better link is the original article from The Verge instead of the crappy rip-off YouTube video of an artificial voice reading the article.

True, thx; not sure how I omitted that. (This blog is worth every penny you pay, amirite?!)
