The human body has no right angles, so why are our devices still designed to be so rectilinear? This proposal for a curved camera casts straight edges aside in favor of a form that's sculpted to fit snugly within the user's hand.
The shape of this concept Canon is like that of a raindrop, enabling you to grip it comfortably to capture at any angle. Nikola Mraovic and Luka Bogdanovic conceived a thin screen that could retract from the rounded body of the curved camera. Encased in a fine layer of Gorilla Glass and engineered to be double-sided, the point-and-shoot's display would be capable of facilitating selfies quite easily.
Demonstrated here is the openness to rethinking conventional approaches to designing consumer electronics. It's time that manufacturers literally think outside of the box in order to better connect with users.

Trend Themes
1. Curved Cameras - Opportunity to design more ergonomic and user-friendly cameras with a curved form factor for improved comfort.
2. Double-sided Displays - Potential to develop cameras with double-sided, retractable screens for easy and efficient selfie-taking.
3. Non-rectilinear Devices - Demand for devices with non-traditional shapes to better fit the natural form of the human body.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Manufacturers can differentiate themselves by embracing unconventional designs and delivering more comfortable and intuitive electronic devices.
2. Photography - Opportunity to introduce new cameras with more ergonomic designs and advanced selfie-taking capabilities to meet the demands of the modern consumer.
3. Industrial Design - There is a need for professionals who can think outside of the box and come up with innovative product designs that are more in tune with the natural form of the human body.
