With dozens of high-tech yet user-friendly cameras surfacing in the market, almost every Tom, Dick and Harry have mastered the art of photography. But Mac Funamizu intends to make it simpler with his camera concept. Shaped like sunglasses, Mac has dared to reshape the gadget used for capturing images. However, such a sun glass camera can instigate monkey business in public places. Can you imagine some one walking down the street with such sunglasses and capturing images of everybody without their consent? Going by images, there isn’t any difference with respect to looks between original sunglasses and this camera.
Design Status:
This Camera concept is just a novel idea.
Usability:
Fitted with a digital camera, it is also supposed to be tweaked with various natural interaction techniques. Simply don them and start clicking. Though it seems to be hands free, you will need you hand to create a frame. Just position the fingers as shown in the image and go about capturing images by shutting the left eye. Wonder how many accidental pictures will be captured as you wink your eye? Though it isn’t clear about the zooming feature, wouldn’t it be more amusing to zoom in or out by squinting or staring with eyes wide open.

LOL ”wouldn’t it be more amusing to zoom in or out by squinting or staring with eyes wide open.”
But I am completely at loss as to how this thing works. I mean, the frame seems to be too thin to accommodate a camera machinery within and where are the batteries?
Also, how can just winking with left eye click a pic? Maybe sensors track when the left eye shuts? But in that case, every time you blink you click!
Is this thing for real?
Amusing design! This fancy camera isn’t for real and it definitely needs to undergo tons of practical changes to make it truly functional.
Only a new gadget to track where you goes all the day. maybe some woman will get those for their husband,not telling them what the sunglasses do so at the end of the day they will look at all the pics to spy on what they where looking at all day long, the litttle a.. of the new secretary ;)
Yeah Alain, I did mention that such gadgets will be more misused than actually used.
LOL...i liked your idea about wives gifting it to their husbands n keep a track on who all they intended to wink :)))
I want ten of these!!!!!!! So wonderfully useless and fun!!!! Every time I come to your page Deepa, I feel like getting my cheque-book out!! lol
Seeya!
Hey Michael, your bank account seems to be loaded as you dare to open your cheque book. I barely have any thing left in my account at the end of the month and so I don’t dare to even dream to own any of such luxury stuff.
However I feed my appetite for luxury by simply writing down about them :)
