Every party should have one of these! Sony has developed a Party-shot Personal Photographer that uses the Smile Shutter technology from a TX1 or WX1 Cyber-shot digital camera to capture candid moments automatically. Basically, this robot sees white teeth, and snaps away. According to the product description, it uses the rule of thirds for better composition, intelligence for appropriate tilting, and motion detection to capture those silly hand gestures.
I can see these mini robots replacing kodak cameras at weddings. Well, if they can afford it! It costs $150 plus you have to buy the compatible camera.
But I really like this invention, especially for that one friend who strongly believes in taking candid photos. We all have one of those! Even though ninety-nine percent of the two hundred photos are not usable, he or she still snaps away-- thinking everyone just looks better with their mouth open or eyes bulging. Yes, I have one of those. Can you say Christmas gift?
Remember camera technology is always changing and adding new features to benefit the user. If you have a suggestion for improving a camera feature, or an idea for a new invention, check out this website that helps with developing a prototype: www.virtual-prototype.com.
Have an amazing weekend!
