Camera Restricta: Stop taking the same shots as everyone else

It's amazing how we go to foreign places, see tourist locations, natural and cultural attractions, happily take photos, and return home with the same shots as thousands of other tourists, with the same photos that we find tons of on Google. We all photograph the same scenes, from the same place (herd instinct?), which is precisely why they lose their originality, because someone else could easily have taken it and you wouldn't even notice it. Philip Schmitt's Camera Restrict therefore prevents you from taking the same shots as everyone else.

There are many online for almost every city geotagged photos, photos that are practically identical to those with whom we ourselves return home. Sometimes one wonders why people take photos at all. If you are fed up with generic shots and would like to immortalize precious memories in a unique way, then it's perfect for you Camera Restrict, "a rebel tool for taking unique photos", an experiment about it how stupid we humans are with cameras or smartphones.

Camero Restricto assembles intelligent smartphone case printed with a 3D printer, a smartphone and GPS technology that connects to Flickr and Panoramio, where it counts photos taken at a specific location within a radius of 9 square meters. This tells you how (un)original your perspective or vantage point is, and if the number is too high, the camera, whose name is an allusion to the camera is obscured (first camera), hides the shutter release and does not allow recording.

Camera Restricta tests your originality.

Camera Restrict's camera, which is just an experiment, which makes a lot of sense, the amount of photos taken at a specific location is determined by when via GPS determine your location and then online identifies photos, which were recorded at this location. The number of such recordings is displayed on the screen, as well as announced by the speaker with the sound of a Geiger counter (the sound changes depending on the number of recordings found for the respective location), and appears in the viewer red cross. Probably the first one would seem quite frustrating because the search would unique perspectives turned out to be quite a difficult task (not to mention being aware of one's own unoriginality at the same time), a gradually they would therefore become better photographers and not just one of many who take the same photo. Would you take up the challenge on your next trip abroad?
