History

FaceVsion Technology Inc. was founded in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2009 as a video‑communications subsidiary of notebook original‑design‑manufacturer Quanta Computer. [3]

Products and technology

TouchCam series

The firm’s first product family was the TouchCam line of high‑definition webcams.

All TouchCam models used an on‑board H.264 encoder to off‑load compression from the host CPU, enabling HD calls on mid‑range PCs. [7]

Reception

Early reviews praised the picture quality but criticised the large physical size and Skype‑only focus:

Distribution and partnerships

Quanta used existing OEM relationships to position FaceVsion’s products with Skype, Tencent QQ and Google video services. In the UK, audiovisual distributor Imago Group was appointed master‑distributor in 2010, with a broader IT distributor planned for 2011. [5]
