@yon@sakurajima.moe Recent Mac webcams are actually using the same sensors and processing as some iPhone front cams! Resolution wise, the face tracking uses a tiny 128x128 crop, so you don't need much. I'm running the webcam at 640x480 here, and it's just about right for sitting a fair distance away from the laptop without losing face bounding box quality (my face is larger than 128 pixels across in the frame). A good webcam helps with low light performance though. That's important unless you have consistently good lighting.
