New Kids Digital Camera Provides Built-in Morphing
Digital Blue is releasing a new camera called the the U-Turn Digital Camera that offers zany built-in fun-house effects including photo morphing.
Take a photo booth from an arcade, and cross it with mirrors from a fun house. Now make it fit in your hand. That's the U-Turn Digital Camera. Its big 2.4" LCD view screen swivels from back to front so kids can see themselves mugging the camera while arm-in-arm with their BFFs. Then with the push of a button they can instantly "morph" their image with hilarious fun-house effects like stretchy head, swirls, and squatty view. The U-Turn also works like a regular digital camera, letting users shoot and store up to 80 photos at a time. Only Digital Blue's U-Turn Digital Camera lets kids "punk their pictures" with 12 morphs at the touch of a button.
Morphing can easily be done with most graphics software packages but kids might get a kick out of a camera that offers morphing technology. The camera will be out this spring and will retail for $49.99. (via OhGizmo)
