Example uses include filming demonstrations of products or techniques, use as a
document camera, use for machine vision applications (e.g. industrial inspection of
products for quality control, facial recognition, robotics), use as a web camera, etc.

The camera can also be used for time-lapse sequences e.g. of natural phenomena or for
filming 3D printing.
