Simplifying Photography

In this digital era and self-sufficient gadget loving folks, we rarely have to step into a photo studio just to print pictures. Photosensitive is a project that aims to simplify the self-help process where cameras need to hook-up with computers for the printing process. “The application becomes a dimension of the experience, from capturing to archiving and sharing images.”

Photosensitive comprises of the following modules: Stenope, Viewer, Contact Sheet, and Memory.

Stenope

  • Touchscreen digital camera that uses standard photograph format (4 x 6 inches).
  • The user shoots the picture at a print-ready size.
  • The interface provides straightforward explanations about light, motion, and depth, allowing the user to quickly grasp the different parameters.
  • Stenope then disappears, serving as a control screen for all the other modules.

Viewer, Contact Sheet, and Memory

  • Viewer allows users to create and present slideshows.
  • Contact Sheet works like a stamp and allows printing on any even surface.
  • The loading base for the paper is also in a 4 x 6 inch format.
  • Memory can store up to 10,000 pictures.
  • Images are automatically downloaded through Wi-Fi and classified.

Photosensitive is a 2011 red dot design concept winner.
