Guys, actually, this device utilizes the way professional video is filmed.
1. Ring light around camera lenses is a usual piece of professional video equipment.
2. Camera behind the mirror (or prompt screen) is used in TV studios and is called a prompter, so you can read text and look directly at camera lenses. Here, you can look at your face.
Which is good, since all web-cameras will not show your party looking directly at you, because he will be looking at the monitor to see you.
So this thing is really made with a piece of mind. :)
Sorry, forgot to mention the biggest drawback: you can not see your party when looking at the mirror. It should be a small screen instead (as nicleT mentioned). :)
