Double Selfie Cameras

Duo by Chin-Wei Liao Splits Apart for Two People to Use

— June 29, 2013 — Art & Design
It is undeniable that although people share a lot in common, one of the biggest differences between them is perspective, an idea that is captured through Duo by Chin-Wei Liao, a camera that splits conveniently into two. By breaking apart, it allows two people to take photos at the very same time. Viewing those photos will show just how different they see the world, even if they are in the same room.

Duo by Chin-Wei Liao, a designer currently studying for an MA/MSc Dual Degree in Innovation Design Engineering at the Royal College of Art in London, England, essentially provides an engaging and inclusive photo-taking experience. According to Psfk, it was "inspired by the fact that some people feel uncomfortable being photographed or don’t like seeing images of themselves."
Trend Themes
1. Collaborative Photography - The trend towards sharing the photography experience through collaborative photos has an opportunity for disruptive innovation through apps and accessories that enable people to capture images collaboratively.
2. Split Cameras - The trend towards cameras that can be split apart has an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the camera industry by enabling new forms of usage and experiences for commercial and personal photography.
3.

3. Software - The software industry has an opportunity to innovate new software and hardware systems that enable people to merge and analyze multiple perspectives from dual-camera systems, enabling new forms of AI and machine learning-based image processing and analysis applications.
