Look the other person in the eye while webcamming
We always figured that the biggest problem with webcams was that when it comes down to it video chatting with other people is sorta lame and frustrating, but some researchers at Microsoft's lab at Cambridge have created a speicial software app called i2i to solve the second biggest problem, that of making it appear as if you're looking the other person in the eye when you're talking with them. It does require the use of two camera lenses working in tandem, but the software won't be available commericially for a while, so you won't have to upgrade quite yet.
