Matsuura Yasuaki is the creative mind behind the kyu camera, which is a uniquely shaped device made for vlogging purposes. It is designed with close attention to ergonomics as the kyu comfortably fits into the palm. The symmetrical form acconomodates both left and right handed users.
This addresses the awkwrds handling that would be uncomfortable when capturing content over long periods of time. The design keeps users more comfortable and captures the moment through a single press of the button. The kyu is defined by its enforced constraights as the user is limited to recording only 27 clips daily -- all of which are only 9 seconds each. This may seem restrictive but it encourages a more profound or intentional approach to vlogging.
