The camera system is ideal for entertainment and cultural venues, and has the potential to help people capture hands-free selfies and capture a moment without the distraction of a digital device. The simple and intuitive system can be affixed to walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces, although it is also available as a freestanding version that offers even more flexibility. While there are entire exhibits, installations and destinations created expressly for the purpose of helping people capture social media content, Mira observed an opportunity to help people engage more with their surroundings and less with phones.
