With the PowerConf C300, AnkerWork introduces a 1080p/60fps Full HD webcam that goes beyond the performance spectrum of typical USB webcams for laptops or desktops. AnkerWorks wants to offer interesting additional features by means of an unspecified "AI chipset":
This AI chipset is supposed to provide accurate colour reproduction with "unparalleled low-light performance", which in principle with a few convolution layers can meanwhile provide for famously good results.
In addition, the AI offers an intelligent framing function that is supposed to enable permanent reframing of the person in front of the camera. Quasi an auto-reframe function as known from 
e.g. Adobe. The auto-framing should only follow the conscious movements of a subject and at the same time ignore short deviations (e.g. movements to drink water or the brief glance at notes).
Last but not least, the AI is supposed to reliably control the camera's autofocus. Explicitly listed is the ability to quickly shift the focus between a person's face, an object held in the camera and then back to the face.
And even the noise reduction is also supposed to be AI-based, as is mentioned rather incidentally in the promotional material. Thus, the two integrated microphones with active gain control and noise reduction are supposed to ensure that the person's voice can be heard clearly while background noise is reduced.
In use, the camera itself offers three different angles of view, which are probably also implemented through sensor framing: 78 degrees for close-ups, 90 degrees for a medium view or 115 degrees for the widest field of view. AnkerWorks does not specify whether all functions work equally well at all angles of view.
We are especially curious to see how these AI optimisations affect the latency. After all, the corresponding preprocessing is not without effort. Perhaps we will soon be able to provide an answer to these questions, because the PowerConf C300 is now available for 129.99 euros.
