Almost Genius: A Camera That Decides the Best Pic to Take
Nadia presages a day when the camera will tell you how to take prettier pictures.
...consider this: Much of what makes a picture artistic could actually be programmed into a camera. Diagonal compositions, color contrasts, foreground/background? All of these are pretty simple things for a computer to vet.
The logical next step? German designer Andrew Kupresanin has designed Nadia, a little black camera dressed like a Goth Flip that
contains an "aesthetics inference engine," which assesses the artistic quality of a potential shot.
That sounds like a great idea for the next generation of cameras. I bet a camera could do a decent job of evaluating pictures.
Also, a camera that makes people smile, no matter their original mood.
