De Podo Machina Photographica

Podo est machina photographica compacta ad photographias sine manibus captandas destinata. Podo triginta millimetra in triginta millimetra in quadraginta quinque millimetra metitur et quadraginta tres grammata pendet. Pulvinus silicioneus nano-adhaesivus in parte posteriore positus machinae permittit ut parietibus aliisque superficiebus affigatur et ad usum iteratum removeatur. Pars illa in articulo sphaerico vertitur, ita ut machina fere ad omnem angulum dirigi possit. Applicatio mobilis per Bluetooth connectitur et prospectum vivum praebet, ita ut quaeque imago capienda ante recordationem componi possit. Sensor quinque megapixelorum et lens vitrea angulo lato instructa photographias, pellicula, et seriei temporis compressae imagines sustinent.

Injection molding with
Provocatio Designandi: 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.
Investigatio: 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.
Inspiratio: 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.
Duratio Operis: 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.
Cursus Operationis: 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.
