A Characterful 360° Camera!

vista_camera_01

Having the ability to almost instantaneously capture moments and create seemingly unlimited, meaningful memories is a luxury that we have been given easy access to in this last decade via our cameras and smartphones. However, in more recent years this technology has advanced further as we can now capture the world in breath-taking 360°.

VISTA does just this, and it does it via a neat, user-friendly design! Its characterful design style is equal parts playful and functional; the front and rear of the casing is identical in form, to allow it to accommodate the two lenses, while the touch points are clearly recognizable and intuitive in where they are positioned.

VISTA’s wonderful party-trick is its tripod that is incorporated neatly into the body of the camera; this gives the user a comfortable place to hold the camera by, as well as having a compact and convenient tripod wherever they travel!

A Contemporary Throwback

casio_01

Before the smartwatch, there was Casio. Whether we knew it or not at the time, the iconic Japanese brand has spit out some of coolest timepieces of… well… our time. From weird to wacky, their’s was the first to sport a calculator, control your TV, play music and even track your fitness… and that was in the 1990s!

Paying tribute to this legacy, Tyson Mai’s Casio concept combines familiar elements from over the years. It doesn’t appear to have any of the smart features mentioned, rather, it’s a fashion throwback that’s purely aesthetic in purpose. While it looks quite cousinly, one new feature is a removable face dial that doubles as a philips screwdriver for removing the back plate when it’s time to switch out the battery.
