The Picture this tool is an audiovisual device that combines two digital video cameras and two accelerometers. The tool captures motions, video and sound in real-time while an algorithmic video editing system composes a movie from these inputs. A motion based editing engine fluidly assembles the film as its story is being narrated, while respecting the conventions of continuity editing, namely, a sequence of shots that appear to be continuous.

i don’t get it
This is a device for children to make movies about their toy stories while they play with their toys.
This is a video editing and capturing device designed for young children, ages five and up, allowing them to craft compelling movies through the motion analysis of their interaction with toys. Children??™s favorite props alternate between characters and cameramen in a film. As children play with the toys to act out a story, they conduct algorithmic film assembly.
Two video cameras are integrated within two doll’s bag. The bags are used to accessorise dolls or stuffed animals. The cameras display what they “see” on an external display monitor. This gives an insight on children’s play. The sysem detects the motions of the child and will play the point of view of a doll based on the one that is moving. The system assembles a movie by alternating shots between the toys, e.g. doll1, doll2.
Yikes.
Seems too complex/expensive to give to kids.
Cheaper than an Xbox 360 and way more creative!
i would use it to spy on people
that doesn’t sound very fun.
Sorry to hear you cannot have fun. It has been tested with children and they love it!
