Ever notice how people start looking less cool the moment you point a camera at them? Ever wanted to take a picture around the corner without being observed? Add a side-pointing camera to the cell-phone chassis. Now you can take a picture without being observed or without looking like you are taking
a picture. You'll get natural looking scenes without cheesy grins or people covering up their faces. You'll also be able to see your view screen while holding your camera so that it peeks around a corner with a very low profile.
(?) The Super-Secret Spy Lens
http://photojojo.co...otography-spy-lens/
This is one example of the 35mm equivalent - I used one many years ago when I was in college, and it was great for taking candid shots of cute girls in cafes. ( Having read Alterother's prediction, let me say for the record that it was back in the 90's before teh intarwebs and porn) [zen_tom, Oct 25 2012]

HiLO lens
http://www.gizmag.c...ne-ipad-lens/24684/
The HiLO lens is a right-angle lens that attaches to an iDevice’s existing lens, allowing users to shoot up, down or to either side while still being able to view the screen. [xaviergisz, Oct 25 2012]
See Rule 34 above...

I predict surge in locker-room and upskirt/downblouse pics
hitting the Interwebs.* |
|
| |
*in case anybody's been wondering about this and other
recent comments, I've been doing some careful research on
Internet pornography; mostly not my cuppa, but
interesting. It's for a story I'm writing. Honest. |
|
| |
The camera screen should also display the video game "Angry Birds" and make the camera controls similar to the buttons/motions you'd use to play the video game. |
|
| |
//I've been doing some careful research on Internet pornography;// Sure, I think there are quite a lot of researchers in this field! |
|
| |
Yes, but most of them are looking at the pictures. I'm only
reading it for the articles, so to speak. |
|
| |
The pictures of naked women are okay, too. |
|
| |
I used to do precisely this with my baby Rollei. Since the 127 was a square format, there was no aspect change having the picture on it's side; as it was a TLR, I could sometimes even use the viewfinder while doing it - though I generally didn't. |
|
| |
[Alterother] - Does TGFJ know? Approve? |
|
| |
She knows and, because she's heard the general premise,
because we analyze* at some of the material together, and
because I really am mostly reading articles and essays, she
approves. She is a fundamental part of my process right
from the first read of the rough draft, frequently from the
conceptual stage. |
|
| |
I really don't know why I brought it up at all. Perhaps it's
because I have now posted three recent annos that indicate
intimate familiarity with pornography and I'm feeling self-
conscious. |
|
| |
* Don't. Just don't. I know want to crack wise about that,
but for gods' sake show a little restraint. |
|
| |
For, uh, research, of course. |
|
| |
Rule 34 of the Internet: "If you can imagine it, there is porn of it" (see link) |
|
| |
Better to install high-res networked cameras literally everywhere and on everything. That way, whenever you think "that would make a great photograph" you just have to go on the network and grab the image. |
|
| |
In fact perhaps you could just wear a brain implant that would do the image tagging / retrieval for you automatically as soon as you imagine a photograph. |
|
| |
Could a snap on or glue on mirror give an ordinary cell phone these special powers? 45 degree mirror or some split image lensey thingy. |
|
| |
That's a marketable product, [pop]. Cheap, simple, very Bakeable,
mass appeal. Clip on telephoto and wide angle lenses are already on
the market. |
|
| |
Make it rotatable for left/forwards/right selection. |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be a camera you wear in your ear |
