Blink-Cam Savors Every Moment

0helmmmmmet1.jpg
0helmeeeeet2.jpgOn average, every person loses 192 hours, or eight days of visual sight due to blinking. Andrew Schneider, at student at ITP, didn't like that fact and designed the Blink-Cam to savor every moment. It is a helmet that takes a Polaroid picture of the individual at every blink.

The BlinkCam uses custom-built soft conductive thread and conductive fabric switches that complete the circuit of the hacked shutter-release button. The thread and fabric is affixed to the face with spirit gum and the simultaneous closing of both eyes triggers the camera to take a picture.
