The R2-D2 Web Cam offers you your own Star Wars webcam droid with a lightsaber-style Skype-compatable phone.

The Force is with this Webcam

R2-D2 Webcam is controlled by a voice-enabled phone that looks like a Star Wars lightsaber. Made to work with Skype, this is an impressive, albeit costly (around $350) and fun webcam for the die-hard Star Wars fan.

The R2-D2 webcam be used to record and playback digital movies, take snapshots or even monitor your room remotely. The camera can tilt 72 degrees up and down, move forwards and in reverse, as well as turn a full 360 degrees.

Other Features of R2-D2

A clever feature of this webcam is that there are sensors on R2’s front leg that detect the edge of a table and automatically stops it from crashing to the floor, while also giving an audible warning. Nice feature for those who bought this thing and don’t want to accidentally send it spiralling to the floor!

At just 4cm long these digital video cameras from Aee are certainly very small and designed for ‘clip & record’ functionality.

They fit a 16GB SD card and record at 640×480 pixels so don’t expect high resolution here. The Mini DVs also double as a webcam and can take still photos too.

I think these miniature video recorders would appeal to anyone wanting to have a small device they can clip on as they move around, be it on a bicycle, on your clothes, on your car, or for some other activity.
