[TECHCRUNCH] Two years after launching the C1 webcam, Opal is still committed to hardware

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ahead of launch, the C1 received good marks for hardware design and picture quality, with many reviewers referring to the camera as a low-cost DSLR webcam alternative.

“When we launched, we were at four people on the team,” co-founder Stefan Sohlstrom told TechCrunch during an interview this week.

Opal has spent the past year hiring across the board, effectively quadrupling its launch headcount to 16 full-time employees.

“We launched to all this demand, all this interest that we didn’t have the capacity to handle it,” said co-founder and CEO Veeraj Chugh.

For example, the system is powered by the Movidius Myriad X, a chip Intel developed for processing imaging data on robotics hardware like RealSense.

The company says it’s making an effort to keep the team “relatively lean.” Opal also opened an SF office this past year — its first since launching at the height of the pandemic.
