The problem with that would be that the camera would be pretty low to
the floor. Then you might get some nice "up the skirt" shots.... What
would be nice though would be a platform which would at least allow one
to pan the camera (someone here at IBM has/had a webcam in their lab
which you could pan from the web interface). Then at least if someone
was standing in front of the camera, you could try and look at something
else in the room.
