tree rings (webcam by willis)

From the inspiration of tree rings we derive the concepts of ‘timing’ and ‘memory’.
‘Timing’: As tree rings show the tree’s displacement of its center towards greater sunlight, so the camera detects the shapes of objects and adjusts to the shape most resembling a human face. ‘Memory’:As a tree grows and rings are added, so the camera has the capacity tosave the images it records. Through these two features , the procduct can be easily affixed in any position on a computer monitor.
Combined with wireless technology this camera is a useful porduct for digitally recording and saving everyday communications.

以年輪之「時間性」與「記憶性」概念作為發想。
「時間性」係由年輪會因陽光照射而位移軸心，作為比喻網路攝影機之鏡頭會因人臉的移動而偵測最適當的輪廓抓取；「記憶性」係由年輪是慣性生長而自然圈數增加(量)之因，以此比喻產品存有容量記載所攝取之動態影片資料。藉由這兩項之發想，產品可輕貼吸附於螢幕之任意處，藉由無線傳輸之技術，兼具記錄與儲存數位生活之溝通產品。
