wtf
Edit: Apparently this is satire or an art project
This type of extravagant technological solution feels like something Aperture Science would make
Cave Johnson, we’re done here.
We do what we must because we can.
y’all mfs trying to detect obvious satire challenge (impossible)
Wait, is it?
Well, the camera itself is just an art project.
But I have no idea if the person who posted it with that text is delusional or trying to be funny.
pretty sure it is :)
I corrected the title and post!
Thought this is an invention for blind people at first.
Someone please kill me
actually, Google was really working on something like this, based on googlestreet images, gps, accelerometer, time, AI etc… to deduce the image and sell cameraless smartphone.
what a stupid idea, honestly
- because it is indeed stupid: the most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature
- cameras are actually the selling point of most the expensive smartphone
- I WANT to capture it myself
This is one of those “it’s cool!” things that people took way too far
I can’t imagine anyone other than tech bros actually using this in any scenario
AI image generation aside, this sort of thing might be genuinely useful for someone who is blind or low vision. It’s like alt text for the world.
It’s a cool art project.
Can you still call it “Camera” if it doesn’t even catch any photons?
cAImera!
Looks like a lot of unnecessary extra steps for worse effect.
It is incredibly ironic though because back in the days photography was attacked as the thing that would “destroy art”.
