Seeing your grandchild�s first steps from miles away. Hearing your friend�s laugh from across the country. Sharing your dorm room decorating skills with your parents back home. Those are the moments and experiences that will become the hallmark of Microsoft� LifeCams, an innovative new line of webcams that dramatically simplifies the video communications experience to let people see, hear and share life�s experiences in an extraordinary way.
