Everything has started in one of the computer labs of Cambridge in the early 90s, when the global web has just started its victorious march on the planet. The group of scientists, approximately 15-20 persons, was working on the project in the area of network technologies. Working conditions were difficult - the entire team had only one coffee maker, which could not satisfy the entire team.

A note about this interesting laboratory of Cambridge was published in Comm-Week magazine on 27th of January, 1992. It is not so much time since the first prototype of web-cameras appeared, but they have already become well-formed, a separate class of devices that make everyday life easier, more convenient and fun.
