Two fingers air concept camera

By PR admin | Published: November 23, 2011

This two fingers air camera is designed by Yeon Su Kim. The concept camera is operated by your fingers gestures. The images/videos are transferred to your smartphone via Bluetooth:

"If you want to click pictures, wear the camera band on your thumb and the shutter button on your forefinger and gesture to click a pic. To take videos, simply curve your fingers to mimic a video camera grip and shoot. The tension from the finger movement triggers the shutter button to operate."

    /* insert random joke about voyeurs, fingers, and sex here. */

    What are the practical uses of this other than being discreet about taking photos? Maybe as part of undercover work?

    Maybe if my career was a mime and I wanted to mimic tourists, but still take pictures of them?

      Or…….. You can just use your smartphone.

  • Peter

    see it in the next james bond movie… that’s it…

    How do you frame you shot?

    • disco

      obviously through bluetooth connected HUD contact lens.

  • Mark

    uses? how about always having your camera? Without carrying it? I would buy that in a second.

    • Anonymus Maximus

      Hmmm, Your Phone?

    • Global

      You can duct tape a cheap “spy” camera to your hand right now. You can duct tape it to your forehead if you want.

  • Jerobi

    Wonder if I can get it with an F mount…

    Or maybe a hot shoe accessory?

  • Vince

    Personally, I think it’s incredibly innovative. If the potential images are of good cell Phome quality, I can see this being great fun at amusement parks, out at a party or club, etc. much quicker and more convenient than whipping out the cell phone, turning on the app and then framing the shot!

    • Global

      It sucks — and is a terrible idea because of focus and framing issues.

      99% of shots will be the equivalents of shots made by holding your camera in a general direction without seeing how things line up or what its focusing on.

  • denz

    how can you shot video with your other fingers in front of the camera/tumb?

  • peter

    this camera would suck if you had Parkinsons.

    • Global

      Anti-Shake technology. =P

  • hi

    will badly be stained if you eat curry with your fingers and forget to remove it

    Even previously released Lytro thing looks like a masterpiece of design and engineering. The idea of this ‘two fingers camera’ is too stupid to find its realization, unless it was developed especially for voyeur-aimed teenagers. Is that a good way to find a date? Bullshit.

    • What

      In that case, they should make it to strap to your shoe and have LED lights.

      Itd be a hit seller in Japan.

    how about the one finger concept

    • What

      Whoa whoa whoa… slow down there speedy.

      We’re dealing with cutting edge 2 finger technology right now.

      We’ll get to one finger a decade later.

    remember you have the camera on when you go to the bathroom

  • KnaP

    where are they hiding the battery?

    • What

      Solar powered — duh.

      You will need lots of ambient light to see any image made by that thing.

  • Martin

    What a joke…

    Cameras are about optics and not about usability. What will we have there? f1.4 high diffractive optics with a avsolutely ISO 125000 noiseless square-nanometer hires 36MP ultraCMOS chip?

  • andy

    The video camera hand gesture looks like something else. Might get you beat up.

  • HEHE

    the video camera hand gesture looks like masturbating a big cock

  • VT

    Wow, Yeon Su Kim has taken artistic license way too far. Seriously? S/he’s on crack.

    • Nathan

      Gotta be student work. Any pro who did this should just quit now.

  • Nathan

    How would you aim this thing? I think this is yet another instance of imaginative designers who just don’t know enough about what they’re designing to avoid f*cking the whole thing up completely.

    A camera you can’t aim? That exists in the oily spaces near the inside of your hand, where things are handled that would touch the lens? Has he even USED a camera before? No, he’s just a knucklehead with Adobe Illustrator and a boner for making things tiny, shiny, and without interfaces or even the remotest idea of why cameras currently exist as boxes or rectangles.

  • Nathan

    Haha, the brilliant part is that his own images show the camera taking pictures of the photographer’s own fingers!
