The selfie has become so prominent in modern society that one company has decided to install Sunpole Camera Stand in tourist spots across the city of Fujisawa in Japan. Just as it sounds, it is a tall stand that allows people to rest their cameras on for the ideal tourist photo. The Sunpole Camera Stand even boasts a holder for smartphones.
Although some people might see the Sunpole Camera Stand as yet another way for people to interact less with strangers, it does save the hassle of not only bothering someone to take a photo of them, but also the pressure of taking a good photo. The Sunpole Camera Stand is able to rotate at 360 degrees in order for people to get all the shots they want.
