Duration
2 months - research, development, model-making and
rendering. |
brief
if someone with severe disabilities of the hands
can uses this camera, then it should be accessible
to all consumers |
objectives
to design a better camera for all photographers. |
main
innovations
the use of APS film approx. 2 years before it
became an industry standard.
LCD display screen / view finder (CCD).

Why a digital camera? |
| |
this is the little brother
of the CCD digital microscope project.
the application of digital technology allowed an
examination and redesign of the cameras basic orientation. |
 |
how is it better? |
| |
the
use of APS film approx. 2 years before it became
an industry standard, provides easy loading/ unloading
of film.
LCD
display screen / view finder using CCD technology
means the view-finding and taking of the photograph
can be performed in one stance.. |
|
the problem
if a person has disabilities of the hands, for example
muscular problem brought on by old age, then small
'high-design' cameras are inaccessible, and so too
is photography.
the solution
the solution is based on a simple premise, if someone
with severe disabilities can uses this camera, then
it should be easier to use for all consumers. also
the use of digital technology frees up the basic
orientation of the camera. |

Below are some very early sketch
sheets, this stage of the project is the most
open, so I have included some different possible
directions the project may have taken.
