IKEA’s made of cardboard digital camera

Hi,

 

This camera, designed by Jesper Kouthoofd, is characterized by an extremely basic building: a motherboard integrated camera module, memory, USB port and touch, all sandwiched with two AAA batteries between two sheets of cardboard.

Similarly, its use is extremely simple: just to turn it to maintain the single button start / trigger on the front and wait for the green LED lights. The snapshot is taken just as long: press down firmly and wait until the device finishes recording the image.

In terms of technical characteristics, Ikea gives again the minimum: the sensor just 1.3 MP (definition of an old webcam) and 16 MB of onboard memory.

The viewfinder, carved out of the box, gives only a very rough idea of framing and image quality is logically rustic for the "fun" we have spent in the lab, see our face to face.

Thank you.
