TosPom is a ball-shaped camera that takes pictures while playing catch. When the photographer throws TosPom to the object, the object’s face will be taken automatically as the object catches it, and the picture will be shown on the display.

With TosPom, the act of taking pictures becomes a mutual, interactive activity that involves both the photographer and the object while both parties engage in a fun activity of playing catch.
Moreover, the photographer can draw out a more natural and relaxed expression from the object.

    Seems like something one ought not do with a digital camera…

    If it can be made cheap, it’s cool. I wouldn’t buy one, but kids might enjoy it.

    That bracelet, though… That’s an incredibly ridiculous interface decision. It’s neat technology, but I have no problem speedily pressing back/forward buttons, especially if the alternative is waving my arm around to get the same function.

    Cute..but, wouldn’t the excitement fade away quite quickly?

    …one variant could be to have the camera taking pictures as it spins - or moves - towards the receiver. it doesn’t matter when exactly. Would require a quick shutter though.
