The Air Clicker is a conceptual camera concept designed to strip away all of the unnecessary parts of current digital cameras. Air Clicker was designed by Yeon Su Kim and consists of two small, finger-worn modules. The modules are Bluetooth enabled and act as the lens and shutter button of the camera. Pictures taken are sent to your smartphone for viewing.
To take pictures using Air Clicker, all you have to do is raise your hand into the shape of an L. When you have the image framed, simply push your finger down as if you were actually taking a picture. The action trips a tension sensor that then takes the photo. The Air Clicker seems like an awesome novelty concept, but I don't think that it could go mainstream as it could be hard to tell if you have the shot you want when you can't actually see it.
