A camera and microphone are incorporated into the design to stream what you're seeing to co-workers and enable speech commands. The sophisticated headset tracks head movements to allow users to easily view all aspects of their computer screen. The HC1 features 512MB of RAM, a 3D accelerator and a microSD slot to further expand storage.
