Adding computer vision capabilities to a project doesn't necessarily require specialized camera hardware.
In fact, an ordinary USB webcam can often do the job, provided that the development board and software support it.
Arduino hopes to simplify that process with its new USB Camera, an accessory designed specifically for its UNO Q and VENTUNO Q development boards.
The Arduino USB Camera isn't fundamentally different from any other standard webcam.
An integrated HD microphone captures audio alongside video, making the device suitable for applications that combine speech recognition with computer vision.
