In the News: A Camera that Rates Photography Skills

Every so often we run across an invention that had the potential to radically change the way in which we interact with certain products. Such happens to be the case with the Nadia concept camera.

Developed by German student Andrew Kupresanin, the camera, working off an algorithm, rates the quality of your photos. After you take a picture, the back LCD display gives your picture an Aesthetics Rating, which is based on a percentage. So if you are taking high quality photos, expect a 90% or so rating; if your photography skills leave something to be desired, you are more likely to end up with a score in the 30 percentile. The video below provides a solid explanation of the device:

We think this could be a nice feature for seniors. A lot of aging adults might want to take picture-perfect photos but no longer have the eyesight to assess their own photography. The Nadia concept camera can provide an older photographer with invaluable feedback instantly.

So far, there are no concrete plans to introduce this to the public, but we can only imagine that that the technology will somehow be adopted by the Sony’s and the Samsung’s of the world within a few years.
