Hercules Xtra Controller, the indispensable new companion for all instant messaging software featuring the EXCLUSIVE Chat and Show feature The current situation:

Video conversations soon become boring when all you can see is your friend sitting at his or her computer...

You are often tempted to send your holiday photos or videos to your friends via MSN® or SkypeTM, but it’s a lengthy process... and doesn’t always work out: you must locate the files that you wish to send then wait for your contact to accept them before the download can start. Your pictures are all high resolution files and you do not know how to reduce their size, which means that the file transfer lasts for hours... After downloading your pictures, your friend looks at them alone; you cannot comment them for him (or her)...

Hercules has the solution:

The EXCLUSIVE "Chat and Show" feature: thanks to the Hercules Xtra Controller software installed with your Hercules webcam, at any time during a video chat session, you can instantly send your photos to your friend by including them within your conversation’s video flow. No more lengthy and tedious downloads! No conversion required before sending the files: Hercules Xtra Controller handles everything in real time!

Simply select one or more photos on your hard disk drive and start the slideshow: The video captured by your webcam automatically switches to a picture in picture-style display, enabling you to share your emotions while remaining visible to your friend while he (or she) browses through your pictures. (You can move your webcam’s picture around the screen by drag-and-dropping it with your mouse, and enlarge or reduce its size using your mousewheel - or simply choose to hide from view it in order to show only your pictures.)

Smarter still, you can display a hand-shaped pointer, which is also visible to your contact or friend, on the picture that you want to comment live. Left-click to move the pointer around the window to a specific place on your photo.

And that’s not all: you can also show your friend the videos or movies that are stored on your computer while you comment them. Have fun dubbing your favourite actors "live"!

4 of 5 Excellent Cam Saturday, January 17, 2009
A Customer from West Des Moines, Iowa  

Awesome video and sound and even better stills. Very easy to use, face tracking works fine. It finds a point to focus on and the software adjusts to that point. Use of bundled software is very easy to understand. I'm VERY happy with the cam itself, however... As to the installation-almost a nightmare. It's flash based and no matter what options you chose to install, it installs all of it. It doesn't always work well with other voice based programs such as Ventrillo. As the other reviewer said, it downloads an update which really takes roughly 10 minutes even with a 10 Meg connection probably because of the flash installer. I went to the manufacturer's website to try to download the latest software (nothing available so far) and sent an email with my concerns and got a canned reply about uninstalling drivers so don't count on customer service for help.

4 of 5 Face tracking? Wednesday, December 17, 2008
raynman from Washington, GA  
It's a nice webcam. Wasn't too hard to set up. Took a little while to load the software because it had to download any upgrades. It does well in low light and the focus is good. Only thing I'm not sure about is it said it had face tracking but I haven't figured that out yet. It's still a good buy though.
