triops, Finalist
‘triops’ is a robust digital camera which allows the user to experience new perspectives and perceptions and takes the potential of digital photography to a new level.
The camera is equipped with three protected fisheye lenses and allows for an active, spontaneous and playful photographing experience. This product can take images while being thrown, suspended or just being placed in an unusual location. It captures the moment by responding to sound or movement, or by reacting to the manually operated release. Sequentially taken photographs are possible as well as 360 degree panorama images. All working parts are integrated in the robust casing and can be operated easily and intuitively.
Pictures can be wirelessly transmitted to a separate display unit for viewing. This unit functions as a processing and storage device and the camera’s charging station.

Finding of the Jury:
This innovative, conceptual yet practical product captures the spontaneity of the moment by showing unexpected images and perspectives of our experiences. The product develops the idea that our point of view is sometimes arbitrary and not controlled by the photographer. As a result, the act of picture taking does not remove the photographer from the experience.
The jury believes that further development and extension of the basic idea could result in a wide range of exciting applications in many different areas, such as children’s education and artistic expression.
