I wasn't sure about the spherical form factor at first, but I think I like it. Reminds me of an old webcam that I had once - spherical, much smaller, and it sat in a little cradle so it could be easily positioned.

Thanks. The original idea was to make it looking like an eye. Also I've added few magnets to back plate, so it can be easily mounted to fridge, for example.
