The '[Twitch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emeet-streamcam-one)' [spy cam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spycam) is a beautifully designed [wooden pendant camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sony). Designer Jess Hunt created the little gadget to let users easily take pictures when they're on the go. The top half looks like a graceful pendant while the bottom contains a 4 megapixel camera.

Twitch is worn around your neck and hangs comfortably in front of you. When you're ready to take a picture, all you have to do is lift it up and twist. An accelerator turns the camera on when you lift it so that you can take pictures discretely while conserving battery life.

Hunt crafted his little camera using European beech wood and aluminum. The two materials were stylishly meshed together in order to form a sleek and minimalist camera.
