Way MarkerScenarios
Digital Paper Unit
Digital Paper Unit slots into user’s chosen frame
Unit has memory and electronics to change pictures
Pictures cycle at user-defined intervals
Or user can tap touch screen to change manually
Picture Grabber
Picture Grabber is used to move pictures around
User ‘grabs’ pictures by holding buttons down
Then can walk around with Picture Grabber…
and ‘drop’ pictures onto digital frames by releasing buttons.
Emotographs
Emotograph camera has sensors that, like a lie detector,
capture the photographer’s emotions when taking a picture.
So later, on a miserable, grey day…
you can choose to look at ‘happy’ Emotographs,
of a fancy dress party.
Or after a stressful day’s work…
choose relaxing Emotographs
of calming landscapes.
