Ladies might love to take photos along their journeys. Although today’s cameras have been sizing down a lot, but they’ll still always add some bulk and not so convenient to carry around. You’ll always wish that a camera could be as small as your lipstick, which could easily go into your handbag to bring along anywhere you go.
Here comes the super compact camera concept presented by Curventa, which aims at revolutionizing the digital cam industry, by producing cameras that would be as small as a lipstick. The super compact camera would feature a scrollable OLED touchscreen, which is scrolled aside, hidden nicely while the camera is not in use. So, it’ll just be like the size of a lipstick that can be easily stored in your handbag. Simply pull or scroll the screen out when you need to take pictures with it.
Besides the touchscreen, the Curventa camera also introduces the wireless charging feature, which is super handy that gets you out of touch with dangling wires. And the last cool feature is it would come with a built-in DLP projector, which lets you view those pictures and videos captured by this camera on a much bigger screen. Of course, all this simply just remains as a concept, which will need many years of hard work to make this concept materialized as a solid product.
