Nicola Morelli reimagines the photography process from the lens of children with the new Camera for Kids concept design. It aims to transform the idea of a digital camera into a more tactile experience that activates functions through physical controls.
It is designed with the notion that kids will be functioning the camera with a shutter button activated by a water gun trigger or a crank lever used to alter the brightness and focus of the camera. Another example is pulling on a 'TNT' string to take timed photographs as it will shorten down to taking the shot. Due to the natural toy-like performance of the camera, it encourages a playful experience more than an intimidating one.
