For social butterflies, clicking a picture of every moment possible is the usual affair. The accomplice – well, the good old smartphone! Then there are accessories like gimbals, selfie sticks (I’m not a big proponent of them), or flexible tripods like the Gorilla Pod. Sure nothing can compare to a DSLR camera, but portability and ease of use are a big concern. Design student SangHyeon Na has thought of a unique accessory or gadget that’s compact, flexible, and satiates your never-ending quest for clicking those Instagrammable pictures.

Meet CAMEY, a tiny camera that fits in your pocket or hooks onto your backpack! It’s more like the EDC of the camera world. SangHyeon Na imagines this concept as an automatic camera with AI-enabled functions for making clicking pictures an enjoyable and creative task. Use it for shooting sharp portraits or high-octane action sports – CAMEY is built for any creative moment you want to hold on to. You can bend it any which way, just like a Gorilla Pod, to capture unique perspectives. The companion app lets you share pictures or videos directly with friends or even filter them by location or other metrics. You can even communicate with the CAMEY community.

The idea is to have a dedicated portable camera that can be utilized in the blink of an eye. Just like the iPod revolutionalized the music industry and the very concept of portable music players – CAMEY too wants to be a standalone accessory for all your camera needs!

Whilst nifty robotic vacuum cleaners make a tedious and laborious task far more convenient, they are simply not as efficient as the real-deal; their inability to maneuver around complex obstacles or ascend and descend stairs leads them to require a human to return to the areas that it missed, with a more conventional vacuum. This observation led to the creation of Lizard, which aims to offer a smarter and easier cleaning experience!

The bottom section of Lizard operates as a smart robotic vacuum; the intuitive display makes controlling the compact device, a breeze. Once the cleaning is complete, Lizard will return to its home that features wireless charging. To tackle the hard-to-reach and problem areas, Lizard’s ‘tail’ can be attached. By attaching this component, the unit operates as a conventional vacuum. An ergonomically designed handle that’s paired with a display that highlights the missed areas allows the task to be carried out quickly and efficiently!
