The Scope Camera for Kids
This prototype by designer Bas Groenendaal
is an easy-to-use camera for kids that encourages them to interact
directly with their surroundings from a fun, new perspective. Inspired
by James Nachtwey’s TED Prize wish,
The Scope is shaped like a car steering-wheel and has a windowless
viewfinder, helping bring the photographer closer to the action and
his/her subject. The picture is captured with a simple squeezing of the
sides of the wheel. Groenendaal designed the camera “to be used as a
therapeutic instrument for underprivileged children, e.g. children
living in (former) warzones. Children can take photographs and
self-portraits in order to rediscover their environment and identity,
and share their point of view with others.” TED Blog explains more:
