Fuji's glove camera

Juniper Foo | Sep 08, 2004

What will they think of next? At the recent Future Creation Fair in Tokyo, Fuji Photo showed off a prototype wearable digicam called Sign Operation Camera that it's working on. We're not talking about a mini cam you can wear around your neck but one that, quite literally, fits you like a glove. The concept uses the hand as an anchor, with the lens worn on the forefinger like a ring, the LCD display sitting at the back of the hand and the battery placed somewhere around the wrist. The shutter, interestingly, is triggered by finger signs such as making a V sign with forefinger and middle finger. Now if HP can customize a diamond-encrusted iPod for rapper Puff Diddy, we reckon it won't be long before the gloved one puts in orders for this Fuji shooter.
