About Podo دوربین
پودو یک دوربین فشرده است که برای عکاسی دست‌آزاد طراحی شده است. ابعاد پودو ۳۰ میلی‌متر در ۳۰ میلی‌متر در ۴۵ میلی‌متر است و وزن آن ۴۳ گرم می‌باشد. یک پد سیلیکونی نانو-چسبنده در قسمت پشتی آن امکان می‌دهد تا دوربین به دیوارها و سایر سطوح متصل شود و برای استفاده مجدد قابل جدا شدن باشد. این درپوش روی یک مفصل توپی می‌چرخد، به همین دلیل دوربین را می‌توان تقریباً در هر زاویه‌ای تنظیم کرد. یک اپلیکیشن موبایل از طریق بلوتوث متصل می‌شود و پیش‌نمایش زنده ارائه می‌دهد، به‌طوری‌که هر عکس پیش از ثبت قابل تنظیم است. حسگر ۵ مگاپیکسلی و لنز شیشه‌ای زاویه‌باز از عکس، ویدئو و توالی‌های تایم‌لپس پشتیبانی می‌کنند.

Injection molding with - Design Challenge
- The ball-join mechanical design was challenging because it needed to allow 360-degree movement for the back flap and incorporate with the overall aesthetics. The form factor of the device was difficult to achieve. We had to minimize the device and keep the aesthetics friendly by applying curvatures on all surfaces while keeping heat dissipation, electronics, and a battery in mind. Material selections of the back flap and light pipe were time consuming because there were many iterations and trials to achieve the desired results. The Bluetooth live preview and image/video transfer speed were quite challenging because there was no off-the-shelf solution available on the marketplace. We had to write our own Bluetooth Host firmware stack in order to achieve easy connectivity and fast transfer speeds.
- Research
- UX research. To develop a handsfree pocket size camera with an intuitive user interface. Observational trials, survey, focus group studies, and simulations. Cameras, questionnaire, Solidworks, Microsoft Office, TracePro. Travel gurus, influencers, tech writers, target audiences. To define a way to improve the selfie-taking camera experience. We realized that people dislike selfie sticks due to their limitations, and also they are banned in many public locations. We push the selfie taking experience to the next level and open up more creative potential.
- Inspiration
- While working together on another project we often took pictures with the team. We got tired of someone always getting left out of photos and needing cables to transfer data from our colleague's DSLR. We wanted something much more versatile and easy to use, so we made it!
Podo represents our passion, our team’s grit, and our conviction that technology should be fun and simple. - Project Duration
- The project started in June 2015 in San Francisco, USA and finished in January 2017. It was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, sold via online channels, and distributed in Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, and various popup retailers worldwide.
- Operation Flow
- Step 1: Charge for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: Install the Podo app for Android or iOS.
Step 3: Rotate back flap and remove protective film on sticky pad.
Step 4: Stick securely to a wall and use the app to shoot!
The app provides a live preview stream over Bluetooth so you can set up the shot from any angle. Podo is easy to place in various locations for time-lapse and security purposes. - Patents
