Whether the boss is going to appreciate the distraction is another matter, but if you want to impress the grandchildren, this may be another option for family video.
If you have a green screen they will work flawlessly, but even if you let the software mask your background by itself, then we still got pretty good results with Zoom.
The images are excellent quality, and Star Wars fans could easily use them as wallpapers on their machines too.
As you can see from our image, we paired it with popular webcam character application FaceRig to put our foxy friend on the bridge of a Star Destroyer.Â
