TIE Fighter Webcam Looks Like Star Wars Spaceship
Posted in Camera, Computer accessory on 19 August 2008


Internet experiences are not complete today unless you switch on your webcam and make a disgusting face or blow a kiss at someone. Such an important accessory to your computer has to look cool and keep changing faces. The TIE Fighter webcam is modeled after the aircraft used to hunt down Darth Vader in (do I really have to say it?) the Star Wars movies. This miniature version of the space-fighter can be fitted to the screen of your system and would look pretty futuristic sitting atop it.

As a replica of the Star Wars space-craft, the TIE Fighter webcam appears as a white ‘aircraft’ with folded wings on both sides. The nose of the aircraft cleverly conceals the actual camera, thus not taking away the look of the ship. The webcam is fitted with two LEDs sitting right below the nose to shine light on your face. The TIE Fighter webcam is priced at an extremely affordable almost throwaway price of $40. This would surely have the Star Wars freaks rushing to every shop selling the webcam.
