Abstract
A portrait camera with aura generating means for creating a photographic recording of a portrait subject and a visible aura image, the subject image received through a front lens of the camera and the aura image received from a projector controlled by a microprocessor system which receives input from circuits connected to the hand over a period of time and sends a pattern to a projector within the camera.
Claims8
An portrait camera with aura recording means, said camera comprising:
- (a) a camera including a camera body, a front lens means for receiving image-forming light from a portrait subject, a shutter means adjacent to said front lens means, an image recording means in the back of the camera body, and a manual or automatic means for operating the camera,
- (b) a projector means within the camera body for projecting a multi-color image of an aura onto the image recording means in the region adjacent to the image of the portrait subject's head and body, said projector including a multi-color light generating means and focusing lens;
- (c) an input circuit consisting of a multiplicity of potential sensing electrodes placed in dermal contact with the portrait subject, said electrodes connected to circuits whose stored electrical energy is altered in a time-dependent manner by dermal contact with the portrait subject;
- and
- (d) a microprocessor means in communication with the electrical circuitry of the camera and capable of receiving data from the input circuits and sending an aura image to the light generating means within the camera.
