Abstract
A system and method for capturing media are disclosed. In a first aspect, the system comprises a wristband device that includes at least one sensor and a camera coupled to the wristband device. The camera is controlled by at least one gesture determined using the at least one sensor. In a second aspect, the method comprises providing a wristband device that includes at least one sensor, coupling a camera to the wristband device, determining at least one gesture using the at least one sensor, and controlling the camera by using the at least one gesture.
Claims19
A system for capturing a media, the system comprising:
- a wristband device, the wristband device including at least one sensor to detect a plurality of signals associated with user movements of a user and further including a contour mapping mechanism to generate a contour map using the plurality of signals;
- and
- a camera flexibly affixed to the wristband device, the camera controlled by at least one gesture that is determined using the contour map, the at least one gesture including the user extending an index finger and thumb approximately 90 degrees from each other to create one corner of a camera frame, the camera comprising a lens that is controlled by electromechanical actuation using the plurality of signals, the camera being moveable along an outer surface of the wristband device.
