Abstract

Context photography consists of capturing context when taking a picture, by sensing physical input in addition to light and representing it visually in real time. By developing this concept, we explore alternative potentials of digital cameras as everyday creative tools. We have developed two prototypes and tested them in user workshops. Based on the results of this process, we present implications of such modifications of underlying characteristics of a still camera.
