Nowadays people upload more than ten thousands pictures to the internet per minute. This means a huge load of pictures on it. In my bachelor thesis I deal with this phenomenom. My goal was to create a camera to reflect on this phenomenom. The camera downloads the nearby taken pictures uploaded to the internet from a geographical point and creates an average from all of these pictures as a final photo. There is only one button on the device and by pressing it will take the photo. This way you can see the avarage picture of a location and we can review on a map all the locations and the final pictures made on those geo points. The user can only decide: leaves behind that visual oasis or take there the first photo.
This project was created in the scope of my studies at the Metropolitan University of Budapest. Consultant: Péter Pettendi Szabó.
