Viewfinder-Free Camera Concepts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jared Mankelow's Digital Camera Uses the Eye to Snap Photos

— May 7, 2013 — Tech
The intriguing camera concept seen here was designed by Jared Mankelow, senior designer at Conran & Partners. The viewfinder-free camera was created in response to a challenge issued the science and tech website BBC Future that tasked Mankelow with redesigning an everyday item.

The result is this digital camera concept that uses your eye to take photos. His camera is a mixture of old and new tech. The designer used features more commonly found in SLR cameras, such as buttons and wheels, while also including new tech like high-tech sensors around the viewfinder. The result is a camera that is both fun to look at and which would probably be even more fun to shoot with. You can check out the video to learn more about the camera from Jared Mankelow himself.
