As a bottom line, if you're content to stay within range of the camera's tether cable, this is by far the cheapest route to digital photo capability. One attractive feature of "computer eye" devices is their low cost: By relying on the host computer for all the processing power, the cameras themselves amount to little more than a lens, a sensor, and some interface electronics. Outside the office, the potential for video-capable computer-eye cameras is equally large, ranging from providing source material for family email to home-security and infant monitoring. The DVC-323 and similar devices point to a coming time when cameras on computers become as ubiquitous as CD drives, and images become a natural, effortless part of routine business documents. With increasing computer power and storage capacity, and new, higher-speed device interfaces (in this case, the "USB" bus), multimedia may be arriving for the common man (and woman).
With the DVC-323, we see Kodak moving into what promises to be an enormous potential market: The "Computer Eye" cameras.
