ideas

Our initial ideas

• Takes photos - either by push button or via touch screen
• Image is displayed on an LCD touch screen
• Image can be wirelessly transmitted to computer - possibly upload to Facebook/Twitter
• Touch screen can be used to take the photo, click to upload to Facebook/Twitter, scroll through previously taken photos
• Camera could have a flash when it takes photos
• Camera could have a timer that can be set via the touch screen or remotely
• Camera takes photo when it detects movement
• Camera takes photo when it detects a face
• Camera digital zoom
• Camera could provide image effects e.g. black and white, invert colours, borders etc...
• Create a stand for the camera that can be rotated left,right,up,down - this could be controlled remotely via a mobile app or by using a web server
