iPhone Flashgun
Flashgun attaches to iPhone and is triggered by a signal from the display. | |
The iPhone has a camera but no flash for dark situations. What it does
have is a very responsive display. Suppose you could program a corner of
the display to go all white at the instant that the "shutter" opens. A small
flash gun could be designed that clamps onto a corner of the iPhone. It
would have a sensor that overlaps the corner of the screen. When the
corner goes all white the sensor responds and triggers the flash.
The flash gun could just clamp on to a corner or it could be built into a
protective case.
The idea could work with other smart phones besides the iPhone.

Other smart phones besides the iPhone tend to have a decent camera... |

Thought this would turn an IPhone into a Blue Beetle Flash Gun ... |

Perhaps you could devise some sort of camera periscope, and then use the whole display backlight as the camera flash. |
