Abstract :
Recent advances in video compression and digital networking technology, combined with the ever increasing power of PCs and workstations, are creating enormous opportunities to develop new multimedia products and services built upon sophisticated voice, data, image and video processing. This will create a significant demand for compact, low-cost, low-power electronic cameras for video and still image capture. These cameras will be a standard peripheral on all PCs bundled for multimedia applications. Given that in excess of 60M PCs will be sold this year, a sizable new market for electronic cameras is being created.
