The Computer Vision Lab at Columbia University is developing a camera kit with which kids can learn photography.
The BigShot will expose children to fundamental concepts in optics, mechanics, electromagnetism, electronics, image processing, and the physiology of the human eye, the researchers say, to draw them toward further learning in math and science.
The camera kit contains parts ready to be assembled. The finished camera is powered by a battery or by spinning a crank.
Optics options will include normal, anamorphic, and stereo prism.
The lab is now testing prototypes of the kits.
