Video effects from Creative's Advanced Video FX
Change the face of instant messaging! So you've heard all about video effects - the special effects like snowflakes, masks, eye glasses, hairdos, etc. that you add to your video image while chatting online. But wait, what about having a beautiful backdrop behind you like the Eiffel Tower or Sydney Opera House? Plus, you can morph your image into water ripples, blow bubbles out of your mouth, or simple become invisible. You can do all this with Creative's extensive, free collection of video effects and more.

Exclusive voice effects from Creative's Advanced Audio FX
Let them hear you, in so many ways! Don't just doodle and morph your image, do something about your voice! Now with Creative's exclusive Audio FX technology, you can talk like a chipmunk, a robot, or a duck. You can even sound like a 5 year-old kid with squeaky high-pitched voice or an 80 year-old man with quivering low-drone voice. Try it to believe it!

Live! Doodling, live interaction!
Just like a real doodling board, you can use your mouse as a digital pen and doodle on your video image. Give your friends a big laugh when they see whiskers coming out of your face.

Keeping you the centre of attention with Smart Tracking
Constantly adjusting your webcam so your face is within the video frame? Smart Face Tracking eliminates the hassle, using motion and color detection technologies that allow you to move freely without repositioning your camera all the time. Recognising your skin tone and detecting your movement, your face automatically remains in the video frame in real time. Smart Face Tracking even allows multiple faces to be framed at the same time.

Up and running in no time!
Get all the convenience of plug and play with this USB Video Class webcam. UVC certified webcams, such as the Live! Cam Video IM Ultra, require no driver installations to run as a straight forward webcam. Simply plug in the camera to start video chatting! You can now enjoy greater portability with your webcam and use it conveniently and easily on any computer without having to worry about downloading or bringing your drivers along!

Additional advanced features of the camera reqiure the installation of the supplied Creative software.
