Olson Camera // Socially Digital
Royal College of Art Graduation Project
Cheap digital cameras have dramatically changed the way we think about photos; especially at social events. Since photos are now free to take, instant to review and simple to delete, cameras often become distractions. The Olson camera was developed to buck this trend. Capable of autonomously capturing images over periods of minutes or hours Olson frees the hands and mind of the user to enjoy themselves at social events.
Once activated Olson can be left alone to snap away. By interpreting inputs from 4 directional microphones it silently pans and tilt the camera lens towards interesting moments. The images are processed internally into 3D arrangements intended to capture the whole atmosphere of the event.
Developed to proof of principle prototype.
Project Sponsored by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
Exhibited at the Interact 1 exhibition at the LLC.
