Triops camera
You're having a blast at your buddy's birthday party.But when it's time to bring out the cake ,everyone crowds around blocking your view . No worries. Throw the "Triops"into the air ,and this clever camera captures view from above . Triops can take 3 pictures at once , so each from a different angle .So how does the Triops know when to take a photo ? A motion sensor recognizes when you've tosed the camera upward and activates at the highest point . You can also record sounds-for instance, a whistle or finger snap and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise . That's one smart camera !
