The German designer Franziska Faoro is one of the finalists for BraunPrize 2007 with her Triops concept – a robust digital camera equipped with three protected fisheye lenses.
The concept
triops is a robust digital camera which allows the user to experience new perspectives and perceptions
and takes the potential of digital photography to a new level.How it works
The camera is equipped with three protected fisheye lenses and allows for an active, spontaneous and
playful photography experience.The benefits
This product can take images while being thrown, suspended or just being placed in an unusual
location. It captures the moment by responding to sound or movement, or by reacting to the manually
operated release. Sequentially taken photographs are possible as well as 360 degree panorama
images. All working parts are integrated in the robust casing and can be operated easily and intuitively.Pictures can be wirelessly transmitted to a separate display unit for display. This unit functions as a
processing and storage device and the camera‘s charging station.
