The Ubi-Camera by Diginfo lets you take photos with the movement of your hands. Most people can form a rectangle composition with the hand's index and thumbs to get a good feel of a shot before taking a photo. Now, you can literally take photos by making that hand gesture.

You take a picture by [framing your fingers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamerasnap), which acts as a view finder. The camera contains a range sensor and the framing is determined with the distance between the camera and the user's face. To zoom out and get a wider framed shot, you pull back towards your face; push your framed hands away from the body to [zoom in on an object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amkov-f3b). You use your thumb to press the button which will activate the shutter to snap your photo.

This Ubi-Camera by Diginfo is a great and [compact way to take photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kyu) for beginners or experienced photographers.
