Facevsion, sometimes written faceVsion, was an HD WebCam manufacturer in Taiwan. [1] It reportedly closed some or all of its offices in February 2011.
A related company, faceVsion Technology USA, is or was located in Fremont, California in the United States. FaceVsion Technology specializes in high-definition video communication technology. Their products are often geared towards improving video conferencing experiences, which can include high-definition webcams and related software. [2] The company's specialization in video communication technology is relevant to the current trends in remote work and digital collaboration in the business sector.
FaceVsion Technology Inc. was founded in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2009 as a video‑communications subsidiary of notebook original‑design‑manufacturer Quanta Computer. [3]
By late 2010 the company had regional offices in the United States (Fremont, California), Hong Kong and mainland China, and had begun building a European reseller channel. [4]
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]
Early reviews praised the picture quality but criticised the large physical size and Skype‑only focus:
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]
