This concept suggests a new direction for digital photography in which people’s casual activities are captured in spite of themselves. Including ideas of capturing moments according to various contextual stimuli like sound or movement as well as having pictures taken remotely by others, this body of concepts aims at enhancing coexperience through shared contextual factors. This concept may encourage people to actively engage in interaction with others to get more interesting images. Also, people may feel certain moments are more meaningful if they are easily captured and shared with others as a reflective story.
Concept 1: Context-Sensitive Camera: what if photographs could be automatically taken according to contextual factors such as sounds or movements as stimuli?
Concept 2: Remote Camera: what if a friend of yours could take photograph of you from somewhere else and vice versa?
Concept 3: Story-Making Camera: what if your everyday life would be captured as photographs, while you don’t realize, collected, and then shared with others as a meaningful story?
