The Ubi-Camera Lets you Take Photographs with your Hands
Imagine taking a photo with your fingers. A prototype for a new type of camera has been created by researchers allowing you to do just that.
Imagine taking a photo with your fingers. A prototype for a new type of camera, known as the Ubi-camera, has been created by researchers at the IAMAS, allowing you to do just that with the help of a small device. By connecting the little device to your index finger the rectangle becomes the viewfinder. Then, by pressing down on the device with your thumb, you are able to take a photo.
A built-in range sensor depicts the amount of space between the photographer's face and the camera. For example: if you put your face close to the camera you can create a wide angle shot and if you move your fingers further away this will give you a close up photo.
The infrared technology range sensor still has a few glitches, such as the difficulty to detect faces, that developers hope to overcome in the near future.
