Iris Camera Concept Shoots Just What You See This is a prototype of a camera that uses biometric iris tracking to control the frame and capture photographs. Just double blink to snap a photo! Then, insert a USB stick into your nostril to transfer files, press bellybutton to activate WiFi... Hm, that might be a bit much... |
