object exchange and object viewer

Rather than hide data away, the networked system enables the capture, transfer, storage and sharing of digital photographs to be acheived within a physical, understandable and enjoyable user experience.

object camera

The internet based system relies on the accompanying products, camera, exchange and viewer, as symbolic recipticles of data in the physical world that help to explain, quantify and symbolise digital photographs which ultimately transfer into the system instantly and invisibly through wi-fi internet transfer. Memories become located and associated to physical space within the camera and later to domestic memento’s, this provides the unobtrusive and familiar physical triggers which help to access digital data quicker and with more pleasure
