The '2C3D' camera has been created as a way for the blind to experience an image by combining various technological methods for a more accessible approach to photography. Drawing inspiration from pin art toys, the camera works by capturing images using a depth-sensing system and then relaying the data to the pin display. The image will appear in a tactile form that will enable users to touch it with their hands to experience it in a way that would otherwise not be possible.
The conceptual '2C3D' camera is the design work of Oren Geva and identifies the need for more accessible technology solutions to ensure consumers with impairments or disabilities aren't left out of the equation.
